Pick the best speaker in this Marshall 4 x 12 of mine...

[kev]

As the title really guys, no biggie- just interested to hear what people think as usual. All mic'd head on. The two with the least votes will be swapped out for V30s as I play to get some X-patterning on the go! Thanks : )

Zip of all of them for easier A/B

Direct links.

Speaker A

Speaker B

Speaker C

Speaker D

 

[dfer]

Speaker D (Bottom Right) without a doubt!

 

[kylendm]

I liked D as well.

B is probably the least pleasing to me.

 

[Nimvi]

D by a long shot for me. It sounds more prominent than the others, and doesn't sound very harsh at all for a head-on recorded speaker

D here as well and B is my least favorite.
did I understand correctly, those are clips of all 4 speakers that are in your marshall cab and they're all the same?
can't imagine all the speakers to be the same and have that much of a difference in sound.

I dig D and C. In your face and crunchy. They sound like they'll sit best in a mix. I favor C a bit more. I know it's middier, but I like that and it seems like it'd need less filtering to fit between the bass and cymbals.

Thanks gents! Looks like D is a favourite then. Colonel, yep they are all G12-75 believe it or not!

Colonel, yep they are all G12-75 believe it or not!
