I am having trouble with this speaker. Its making odd sounding harmonics especially on low notes. I bought another one from Speakertone.com last night so I could a-b test it out. Anyway I think there is something wrong with the voice coil and I will need to send it back to Weber for repair. Drop Ted a note in the "Ask Ted" thread (Ask an expert section of the forum). Might also look at tubes or the guitar too - have had both cause that before as well.

Guys it was not the speaker. I decided to isolate the head from the cab and put some distance between my guitar and the cab.... no more weird notes. I was actually getting some overtones from my strat pickups and some modulation from the vibration of the cab. When I put some vibration absorbing disks under the feet of the head, and then moved 12 feet away there was no problem. I was testing this speaker in a kind of small space and the volume I was playing at was just not appropiate for the size of the room. I do want to say I wrote to Ted about the initial problem and he was very gracious, he said if the speaker had a problem just send it back to his attention and he would fix it free. I wrote to him today to let him know that the speaker is fine (now I have 2) and the problem was just my volumes and proximity to the speaker when it was at a pretty high volume. By the way this speaker, like many of Ted's British design, is quite a bit different than the current offerings by Celestion. Its warmer, no cone cry, richer tones, and smoother. Its much more of what vintage Celestions sound like. Really good stuff, just don't expect it to sound like the modern Celestions.... its actually much better IMHO. I do like the Celestion Blue by the way!!!
