I had to pull apart my vintage marshall 1960a cab to repair the jack yesterday. It doesn't have the later "Deep well" socket to protect it. I noticed all the speakers said Marshall on them made by Rola Celestion. It is early 80's. And sounds fantastic. I didn't go crazy and research the whole thing. But this is a perfect match for an old 2204 50 watt.
EV doesn't make a great guitar cab speaker as far as I have heard. Celestions were cheap speakers back in the day and can be overloaded easily. Is what they got famous for. If ya like the sound of your cab recone them! I would have them reconed personally...
There is no replacements available that will sound the same. recone them! maybe someone has a suggestion as to how to do that?
