Give Me Some Info On Scumnico Speakers

[Jason Carter]

I'm looking for some speakers for a 4x12 cabinet for a K19. I've narrowed it down to the Scumnicos or the Celestion Blue. Has anyone compared the two directly, your thoughts would be much appreciated.

I like what I hear in this clip

PM Fusionbear. He runs them with a 4X12 with Carol Anne EL34 amps. He should have some decent comments

I've had 4x12s of both and 2x12s of both and I'll take/actually keep my Scumnico cabs the Blue cabs are gone. No comparison the Scumnicos are much better balanced. Stiffer tighter bass, smooth highs without being over powering.

I really like the Scumnicos w/my Komet 19, (30 watts each, 2x12 Avatar). Haven't tried the Blues with this amp, but I like the extra headroom.

I haven't tried them in anything other than 1x12s. But, the Blue has much less bass and more top-end presence. The Scumnico is a touch warmer, more thump, and less sparkle. I tried the 65watt Scumnico - the 30 something watt is probably closer in presence, but that's just a hunch. I have been considering changing out the Blue in my Clark for the Scum for a while now...

Haven't tried them head to head, but I ended up liking the M75 better than the Scumnico. It had better mids and detail to my ears. The Scumnico wasn't bad but just didn't hit me as anything special. The clips do sound awesome though.
