Hi!

New here, so here's a big HELLO from Finland to you all. 

We finally got a distributor for WGS speakers a few months back, and as far as know the business is good... And why wouldn't it be, great speakers and reasonable prices!

Usually people complain about a fuzzy or harsh tone, how to get rid of the annoying sizzle. Well, I've got this thing reversed. I want the sizzle back. No, it is not my hearing.

Some time ago I bought a Laney LH50 head. At the store I played through a Laney 1x12 cabinet, which had a C***stion 70/80 in it, and it sounded good. I assumed, that when I get to play through my 2x12" cabinet with a Reaper HP and an ET65 in it, i'd be in heaven tone wise, and took the head home with me.

Boy was I surprised. I mean, the tone is solid and punchy, but it's lacking the sizzle. Since I had that sizzle at the store, I assume, it is the speakers. Right? 

So my question is, which WGS 12" speaker has more sizzle, comparing to the Reaper HP and ET65? HM75, maybe?

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Juha

Yes, both the Reaper & ET65 are a couple of our warmest speakers!

For you, I would recommend the Retro 30 ... which has the most top-end sparkle of any WGS model ... and it's not at all harsh, either :-)

Another good option would be to mix a single G12C in with either your ET65 or Reaper ... the G12 REALLY has top-end cut ... usually too much for my taste by itself in a bright amp ... but mixed with the ET65 it can be downright magical with a dark amp.
