I only got this cab two days ago and haven't had anywhere near as much play time as I'd like but here's a quick clip for those wondering about the sound of T-75's.

You can just forget about your standard 5150 settings with these speakers, they really need an entire re-think compared to a V30 rig. Yes they are much more difficult to coax a great sound out of, but I think it will be worth the work. They are dark, and fizzy, with a huge woofy low end and scooped mid range, and I think you need to accommodate for that accordingly with your amp.
This clip is with my LTD M-307 7 string with EMG 81-7 down in Bb, as I really wanted to see how it handles low end (people always tend to favour the V30 over the T75 for downtuned guits).
Mic was a single Sm57 right on the cap. As I said, very dark sounding speakers, so anywhere off the cap becomes very bassy and non-present.
Amp settings were:
Pre: 6.5
Low: 6
Mid: 5
High: 7
Res: 6
Pres: 7
No boost, guitar straight in.
As for post processing I found I had to take a scoop out of the 250hz region with a narrow Q, as it was very boxy/boomy here. That was probably more to do with the room it's currently in than the nature of the speakers though. HP at 80hz, LP at about 9k, but with a hi shelf of 2.5db from about 6k>.
Anyway I hope this has offered some insight into their sound, I will post more clips over the next few days as I spend more time with it.
Cheers.
