DetroitBlues Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Earlier this year, I bought a used Marshall DSL20C from a cool music studio near me. The amp was okay, sounded better when run through other cabinets with better speakers. So a trip to @Steiner Ranch, I was able to try Celestion Greenback and Creamback loaded cabinets. The amp sounded so much better, so I left there with a couple Scumback speakers to try. M75 (think vintage greenback, 35oz magnet, 75hz.) and H75 (again, vintage greenback, closer to a creamback, 50oz magnet, 75hz). I was sold on a speaker upgrade. Have to return the Scumback speakers and bought myself a Celestion Creamback Neo ( Neodymium magnet, 75hz). I was drawn to this option over a normal Creamback because it was 1/2 the weight. For combo amps, even smaller ones, any way to reduce the weight is welcomed. Played it last night for a couple hours, I really love the sound of the amp. Even the Ultragain channel, which I almost never used previously sounded really good (up the volume, down the gain). Sounds killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I've heard good reviews of the neo creamback. The weight savings is a plus! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks for the insight. Just bought a small 1x12 tube amp from Monoprice. Cheap amp, but they sound good. I want to reduce the weight and was thinking of a Neo Creamback. I think you just sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Sounds like an interesting option, may need to snag one to pair with my latest concoction. I've got a Jensen jet tornado neo thats an excellent speaker; I'd almost compare it to my favorite aerobic workout of a speaker, the EV; clear/transparent, full range, deep bass, all at a fraction of its weight.

zguitar71 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Scumbacks are great speakers. I have 5 of them, M75, M75 PVC (x2), and M55 PVC (x2). I have a single 12 cab, 2 2x12 cabs and they can be linked for 1 4x12. All of them are open back, I’m not a fan of the closed back sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that is an interesting point, my DSL20C is actually an open back cabinet. Usually Marshalls are closed back cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m finding as i get older i value the weight of neo speakers more and more. Plenty of great sounding neo speakers out there. I’ve got Eminence neos and like them a lot.
