If these speakers were lost / stolen / damaged - I would definately replace them. They faithfully recreate the Alnico british tone with lots of rich harmonics and a bell like tone that sounds incredible. Smooth compression at higher volumes make for a fantastically rich overdriven sound. I was borrowing a friends Crate 4x12 cab for a while and wasn't sure if I really liked the sound of the '66 Fender Bandmaster I had recently purchased. Little did I know the problem was the cab, not the amp. The combination of the Fender and the 2x12 Red Fangs sounds better than I could ever have imagined. As I said, the only comparison I can make is to my friend's AC30 with the Bluebacks. If you buy these speakers you will not be disappointed.

Sound
I'm playing a 1966 Fender Bandmaster throught a 2x12 with two Red Fangs in it and the sound is incredible. The only thing I've heard that even compairs are the Celestion Bluebacks in my friend's Vox AC30. After some experimentation I've discovered that to really get the rich harmonic overtones out of then, they need an open-back cab.

Features
Its a speaker. Came with a couple picks and an Eminence plate for your amp.

Ease of Use
I just dropped them into my cabinet and they sounded great out of the box. Some more break-in time is sure to bring out even more great tone. Again, an open-back cab seems to sound beter to my ear.

Quality… read more
Looks pretty good to me. The magnet covers are epoxied on to prevent rattling. I've heard that the covers on the Bluebacks rattle sometimes.

Value
They are a bit pricey, but a hell of a lot cheaper than other comparible Alnico magnet speakers. Half the price of the Celestions...

Manufacturer Support
No issues yet. The best customer support is making a product that doesn't need any customer support.

The Wow Factor
The red finish looks pretty cool throught the back of the cab.
