Anybody compared the 2 alnico speakers? I have both and will do the comparison before too long.  |

Honestly, I have not done a side-by-side comparison.. let us know about your findings... The only non-Tubby speaker that I own these days is a 12" Weber Sig Ceramic.. in an old ragged 1x12 cabinet.. so I'll have to depend on you for the comparisons. |

I've compared the Tone Tubby AlNiCo 12", Celestion Blue and Weber Blue Dog, which may be helpful. You can read the review at the following link: www.svvintageamps.com/speaker.php#question22 To my ears, the Gold has more bottom end and a more raw, edgy sound than the Blue. Hope this helps!

Yea, Scott.. I'm a satisfied customer too: 2x12 Tone Tubby loaded with H1E Alnicos [Red/Black ] Admittedly, I've read every article on your site..  ;D |

Thanks for that Scott, I am thinking hard about replacing my Blue with a Tubby... The blue is just a little too loud and can be a bit ice picky.

Blue has brighter, crisper highs, whereas the TT AlNiCo 12" is warmer, smoother, has more rounded highs, and a bit more bottom end.
Both are great speakers, just depends on the characteristics that best meets your needs!

I switched the Blue out in my Dr Z Maz Jr and like you say, the fully broken in TT AlNiCo has a warmer smoother tone, but has less low low end than the Blue...  I wonder why this is? I was not too happy at first, but after a few weeks...the TT sounds wonderful!! ;D |
