This is my kind of content.
I just started watching right now, so I'll share my opinion in a moment.
I hope this removes some myths from the V30 lottery.

No kidding, that might actually be useful to tune a speaker.Moongel for speakers!!!
I thought they were all 12 inches…

I conducted a little experiment after watching this video.
With a 10cm paper circle carefully placed I can fine tune my Chinese V30 16ohm (from 2011) to sound as smooth or as harsh as I want.
It does require some fiddling and has no consistency whatsoever but does show how small inconsistencies in the cone can make a guitar speaker sound radically different.
The 5-6kHz region is critical, especially with a SM57.

Yeah, the center region is so critical to how the speaker sounds.Pretty crazy how much difference there is...
I have an Eminence Alpha in the closet I bought for a cab build that never happened. Makes me want to toy with it now to see if I can make it sound more appealing... Worst case it just sits in my closet again.Yeah, the center region is so critical to how the speaker sounds.
I would think that every tiny change to the cone in that region like stiffness, shape, dust cap, glue, etc. will have a noticeable change in sound of the speaker.
I think there was never anything special about UK, Chine, 8ohm, 16hohm, etc. it was always the small material and workmanship differences from batch to batch.
Hence the Celestion lottery.
Why Celestion speakers are so inconsistent?
The Vintage 30 and Greenback for example, these speakers sound different almost every year of release, why can't Celestion stick to one formula? People are hunting for 2001 made Vintage 30 because the 2008 and later suck, etc. Greenbacks are even bigger random shitshow. For example exactly the...thegearforum.com

This feels like a trap. I will go with yes!Welcome @The other John Browne! Sweet or dill pickles?
This feels like a trap. I will go with yes!
Yeah. I need to get going on that. Still need the iso cab for two smaller test beforehand that are next on the list.@The other John Browne
Still waiting for the speaker break-in test you promise in the V30 video.
This will REALLY stir up the internet with some grade A+ hardcore science only you can do.
