Hi seppel, Hi ferdi,
ferdi hat das Meiste schon gesagt, ich zitiere mal aus dem Marshallbuch vom Doyle:
"The now-well-known "Vintage," or "Vintage 30," was introduced in 1986 after protestations from Marshall's Steve Grindrod that "ceramic speakers did not sound as good as Alnico speakers." Steve continues the story:
"The 'Vintage' was not intended to be (nor is) a G12H30, but rather a modern-day Alnico, and was originally intended purely for the Studio 15 (4001). The price and availability of cobalt [Alnico = Aluminium, Nickel, Cobalt] in 1985/86 was outrageous as a consequence of the Cold War; hence the use of a ceramic magnet. We found that the "H" magnet came closer to the Alnico in terms of measurable performance, and a new coil assembly was designed using modern materials having similar mass and physical properties to the Alnico 15-watt, but with a much higher flammability rating; hence the Vintage's 70-watt power handling.
Unfortunately, the original cone was not available, so we used the next nearest and added some quite severe doping. The result was a very fine loudspeaker, not quite but very close to the sound of an Alnico, with a fatter midrange. And since its release date coincided with increased demand for classic loudspeakers such as the G12H30, it was marketed by Celestion as the 'Vintage 30,' which was where all the confusion came in." The "Vintage" continues to be offered by Marshall in their popular 196OAV/BV 4xl2s."
Ich finde ja ebenso wie ferdi, daß der Versuch gründlich misslungen ist und falls Du einen Speaker suchen solltest, der klanglich Richtung Vox Blue geht, aber nicht so teuer ist und ruhig einen Keramikmagneten haben darf, dann empfehle ich immer wieder gerne, sich nach einem alten gebrauchten G12H30 umzusehen. Meinen habe ich für 36 Euro bekommen.
Gruß
Jochen
