5Full-bodied tone
By The Thinker
This is my favorite guitar speaker. It can produce slightly more bass than a Celestion Vintage 30. The extra bass is never a problem because it's easy to reduce the bass with the tone controls on the amplifier. But I have often found that with the bass turned all the way up on a Marshall amp, I still want more. So having a speaker that will produce slightly more bass is desirable. Otherwise, it's a typically excellent Celestion speaker. The speaker is very efficient, producing 100 dB with only one Watt of input. When I practice at home, I typically play at around 95 dB, which is loud enough to be satisfying, but it's painless. Therefore, with this speaker, I am typically using less than one watt of power to get a big sound. Although this speaker will handle only 30 watts, 16 watts will produce 112 dB, which is loud enough for small-to-medium-sized club gigs. Do not misunderstand: This speaker produces plenty of beautiful midrange and high-frequency sound. You just have more bass available if you want it. It makes a big, beautiful, full, rich electric guitar sound.

5.. as expected
By JColez
- After lots and lots of reviews, I decided on this speaker to replace my Jet City stocker (a very nice Eminence 16 ohm). I had to swap because my Fender Super Champ amp is an 8 ohm head. For those who don't know you should always match impedance of speaker and amp. The speaker will sound a lot better as the push will match the pull (read-up on impedance if you need); and, if you use a lower impedance speaker than your amp's ohms you can destroy your amp, or catch stuff on fire.. Anyway, this speaker sounds very,very good out of the box, with good crisp response. According to Celestion, the H30 is a cross between a "Greenback" and a "Vintage 30". And, I was really torn between the Vin 30 and the Greenback, however, the H30 solves the debate. So, I went in between with this. I'm very pleased with the high gain it handles and it sounds amazing (cleans are also bright and full). Also, it handles pedals very well, and no rattle or buzzes. This speaker sounds broken in right out of the box, so I'm sure it will get even nicer. If you want Van Halen/AC/DC/The Who/and, high gain; blues, 70's/80's/90's metal-tone, look no further (this is so versatile). As for death metal, I just don't know about it. I think Vin 30 is a darker, slightly bassier speaker and might do better for it. The Vin 30's I've heard also sound terrific for all types of music.**Update** - as I continue to break this speaker in... wow.. it really is opening up..meaner, nastier, growl-ier... Just plain incredible. And, part of your chase for tone (that is, if your a purist), ends here, with this very speaker. Try one in your cabinet - just match your impedance and your golden. They put Celestion high-end speakers in boutique amps for a reason - tone, baby. My H30 sounds terrific in a Jet City 1 x 12 cab (where I had to remove the stock 16 ohm-er due to mismatching head impedance). Oh my. I've played it for 6 or so hours,and it's really smoothened out. Don't even consider - buy, break-in, and love.

5Excellent Bandit replacement
By M. Auer
I put one of these in my Peavey Bandit 112 and it just rips. Great for hard rock and metal. Very noticeable improvement in sound and a lot tighter and meaner sounding. I highly recommend this speaker for any combo amp.
