So it's NSD for me. I did some maintenance work on my JAZ 20/40 today and threw in a fresh quad of 5881's. I've had this amp for about 10 years. So I'm pretty familiar to how it sounds and reacts to different speaker types. Oddly enough the new speaker arrived right after I got the amp all buttoned up and had played it for an hour or so. So swapped out the Creamback and gave it a whirl. As soon as I put this speaker in I was totally impressed, right out of the cold box! I'd say this speaker sits somewhere between a typical Celestion greenback / creamback type tone and an EVM 12L. It has that 12L punch and forwardness, but it isn't sterile. It's based off an old Fane used by Hiwatt in the 70's, which I don't have any first hand knowledge of. But it sure sounds good! It's made by Eminence for Reeves amps. And a steal at 129 bucks. Not only sounds killer, looks sharp too. Love it!

Nice. You’ll probably never take it out.

Nice. You’ll probably never take it out. I think you're correct! Man does it sound good. I plugged my Friedman DS40 into it for a try. Which is a single channel JTM / 800 type amp. It sounded great too! I think I need more of these.....

I had a pair of those Fanes in a combo once. Just as you say I liked them better than Greenbacks. A cast frame speaker for $129? That is a steal. Note they are not made in China either.

This speaker sounds pretty incredible. It seems to excell at just about every style and level of gain. Today I heard some of the most beautiful cleans tones ever with my ES 339 straight into the JAZ. I highly recommend trying one with your Z! Seems to be an outstanding match.

Does anybody stock these Nicholas? I ordered it direct through Reeves. If you give him a call he'll send you an invoice. He had them in stock, shipped next day. They only are made in 16 ohm tho. It's a great speaker man.
