It took me a while and some tube swaps to get me to like the C90 in the open back Mark V 90 combo. It basically works best if you can tame the treble, but otherwise it sounds pretty big for an open back.

thats so funny- i find c90s too dark and a little lifeless!
i really like them with fender amps though- just not my mark ii- but i think some people find those dark as well- so could just be the pairing. they sound really mean with my big fender, which can be bright! synergy is a thing!

The one in my Mark V is anything but dark! No idea how much variance these speakers might have, but with any amp I've tried through that speaker it has sounded quite bright.thats so funny- i find c90s too dark and a little lifeless!
On the Mark V, each channel has the treble at maybe 6 and presence a bit under 5.

yeah, i think mesas are also all over the map treble wise too- i haveta really drive my presence AND treble up to get mine to sound right even with evms- but my amp is eqless for whatever thats worth!
with the fender- the 90 is like a celestion evm- big, fat and thick- but nicely balanced especially closed back, but.. um.. celestion-y.

I've had great results with my open-back C90 loaded 1x12 combined with an EVM12L loaded Thiele cab. They pair extremely well.

I think my issue is that my reference point is mostly from small box combos where it just sounds kind of nasally and congested. I bet it rips in there

Some knob has been posting his on the FB Mesa group. I think the official launch is Tue. I’ve kept it on the down low.
