Not sure why but I''ve never owned or even tried a Weber speaker. The 1230-55 and the Ceramic blue Dog look to be really cool speakers. They are priced right as well. I may have to place an order.

I agree with that! I've got the same speaker, it sounds fantastic. Chimey, complex tone, no high-end icepick effect at all, and a fantastic low end response.Originally posted by illinimax
I really like the ceramic Blue Dog 30 watt, lightly doped, preferring it to a greenback or G12H30. It just sings!

I concur. For the last 3-4 years I've been using Webers in most all of my amps. Great tone and I've never had a problem. And I am cranking them on a regular basis.Originally posted by teefus
weber makes great speakers and stand behind their product 100%. great company to deal with.

While I'd love to agree with you all I simply can not.
I have heard things are better but my experience with them was bad and my dealings with Ted were worse.
When I had these two speakers they came in a Jenkins 2X12, the band was in the process of recording our album. I called Ted to ask about this anamoly, his first response was to re-dope them. They were already lightly doped and I was not about to start pulling speakers, doping and trying again. Plus the more doping you use the less responsive the speaker sounds.
His other "advice" while on the phone was that "most guys just play around it" THAT is one quote I will never ever forget! Play around it!!?? yeah ok, I'll just completely avoid any notes above the 12th fret, why the hell didn't I think of that.
I was in a thread EXACTLY like this on Harmony-Central about 2 years ago and Ted chimed in. Not once, either in that post or on the phone the first time did he EVER offer to look at them for me. The post on HC is where he said he was sorry I had a bad experience and perhaps I should try some more of his products.![]()
If you have them and like them that is great, had a good experience with them that is wonderfull too. I did not, in fact it was all bad. And I know I am not the only one out there, I have spoken with a few amp manufacturers that have tried them with no luck, or with the same bad cone cry I encountered. I am glad to hear he has gotten his sheet together cause frankly, he needed to badly.

I would have answered "no" a few years ago, but the Weber models I've purchased the last 2 years or so have been excellent.........
