G12H-30 Tone
12", 50oz ceramic magnet, 30 watt, 1-3/4" voice coil.
British Kurt-Mueller ribbed 55hz cloth surround cone. Similar to the original vintage G12H-30, it is aggressive, gritty, with lots of midrange punch and a deeper low end than the reissue G12H-30. More headroom and less compressed than the AlNiCo 1230-55. Since this cone has a cloth surround, it requires a minimum amount of dope to seal the cloth. You may select additional doping depending on the power you intend to use and your playing style.

I ordered some cabs from Freda awhile ago, to be loaded with Thames and 1230-55's. Last week I got them, and after some time breaking them in, I must say I'm floored. Thank you! These speakers sound amazing. I finally have the balanced, full-range sound I've been seeking for years. Big lows (that are still tight enough), ample mids, and extended treble with no ice pick. And the harmonics sound like they're gonna jump out and bite me! I guess it's a slightly unconventional pairing, but it suits me. -- Todd Naumann
