Hey folks. I recently scared up a Marshall DSL40 for the right price. To cut to the chase, I like it a lot except....
The stock speaker is a Celestion 70/80. Overall, the amp is kind of "fizzy", as is its nature. The speaker seems to be exacerbating this to quite some degree, though. At the time I bought it, I had the chance to A/B it with the same amp with a Celestion Creamback 65. The one with the creamback sounded veiled, less immediacy and weaker overall. BUT, I think that may have been due at least in part to the amp itself. Tubes? components? I dunno. It just didn't have the grunt that the 70/80 one did. I didn't have the option of "put this speaker in that amp" to give each speaker a fair shake. But there you are.
So what might be a good option to replace that 70/80 with something with a smoother top end? As it is, I'm running the thing in "GE Smith mode", treble and presence all the way off.
