MarkT,
Thanks, I agree. I just had a birthday so I can see a gift to myself on the way. I have a new 2 x 12 cabinet coming from Stagecraft. I am going to share that cab with the Marshall I am building.
I have been switching back and foerth between the Cream and the Tone Tubby Red with a ceramic. The latter combo produce dan incredible sound. I think I may be discerrning the different vocal qualities of each. I think I am hearing an american sound from the Tone Tubby, with a dryer throat tone and the highs are slightly less bright. The Cream can seems to have a slightly greater range and I think I understand the British accent which is appealing to my ear.

I really like the Alnico Cream! Any recommendations of complimenting that speaker in a new 2 x 12 cabinet? Should I use another Alnico Cream or should I be looking at a ceramic sister? I'm a big fan of dual, same kind speakers. If the Cream sounds great, double Cream must sound even better! i have another on the way for my Z convertible cab. The Therapy is gonna be rockin some Cream soon!! OK, the second Alnico Cream is on the way. Now that we have achieved phonic excellence what do we talk about now?

I liked the first one so much in my Maz Jr Studio combo, I got another for my 1-12 Z cab. Looks great in the black insides of the cab. Gold was golden, but the Cream is the cream of the crop! The Therapy sounds wonderful though this speaker. It's even more evident with this amp that this Cream speaker has a good bit more clean headroom....the speaker. It sounds magnificent with dirty tones, and just as great crystal clear....and LOUD!! My new favorite guitar speaker!~

Dangerous for the piggy bank reading threads like this but great for the ears. I just replaced the stock Creamback in a 1x12 cab with a Cream thanks at least in part to you guys and all your drooling over here. You all got me going too and I'm glad because I am weak and so I naturally succumbed; and it came today and wow, really wow, what a difference that speaker swap made. It went in an extension cab I got for my Maz18 NR 2x10 combo. I was already thinking upgrade as I noticed right away when I bought the 1x12 cabinet that the Dr. Z 10's (formidable little suckers that they are) were kinda dominating things over the Creamback. Not the case at all with the Cream. Nor does the Cream dominate the 10's. There's a great balance between them, it's so noticeable, and the bottom end really opened up too. Feel like I got a new amp all over again here. If only every leap of faith worked out this well. Here's a fascinating side by side comparison of the Cream and the Creamback. I know which one I'd pick in a fight. Here the happy new speaker gets comfy in it's new home.

Just bumping this to see if you guys are still loving the Cream now that you've had it for a while? Thinking it might be the ticket for my Maz 8 Studio Combo.

Mine's one of the very first when Doc was using the Blue, which pushed the price pretty high. It's a great speaker for the 8, though. I love it!

I haven't tried doubling them up yet in a 212. Two thumbs up for the Cream Alnico from me

I'm running my cream alnico in a Z 112 Cab and it is a GREAT setup. Not that other speaker flavors aren't great too, but I do love this speaker in there. It sounds so sweet and I find that it retains a good amount of low end without being too muddy or overbearing.

Hey guys just wondering if the cream can make A clear metal voice

I'd probably pick another speaker for straight up metal. But the Cream is my favorite Rock-N-Roll speaker I've ever tried.

Sounds great & looks cool too!!!Β It's beautiful!!Β Gave it another go today after work in another room. With P90's too...Β Still holding up. Still amazing. Can't wait to see/hear what the Doc thinks about this speaker.Β Love to hear the mighty Z Wreck with 2 of these bad boys....Β Double shot o' Cream please? Wow that looks sweet in that combo. I know how much you loved the gold so I bet that cream must be really good for you to put it both your combos. If I ever get another 1/12 cab I would put a cream in it.

I know this is a old thread but I just had to chime in on this speaker. I just put one in my mesa boogie wide body 1x12 cab and Iβm running a Marshall 2061x into it. I also am a huge fan of the gold. I tried the blue but didnβt like the flubby bass on it but did like the sweetness of the blue. The alnico cream is warm and articulate and even when itβs overdriven it still cuts through the mix. Its like they took the blue and the gold and took all the good character of those Speakers and put it into the cream. The gold may have a bit more shimmer to it but I just like the fatness of the cream it still gets the bell like tones and nice warm crunch. It sounds vintage straight out the box. I canβt imagine how great it will sound in a few months .

I ordered a Alnico Cream finally. Are you guys still loving the speaker? Absolutely! I have it in my mesa boogie wide body 1/12 cab it sounds incredible. It even makes your delay pedals sound better. Its very articulate warm and organic. The best speaker I have ever had in a 1/12 cab by far. It sounds great with this Marshall.

Iβd really love to try this one with my Maz 38 but I have an EZG as well...and nothing beats a Celestion Gold with the EZG. I have just one cab dedicated to my Z amps so I chose the Gold. Very hard choice to make.

Well......I got the Cream, loaded it in a 1x12 cabinet and took it to rehearsal last night. I did no break in before jamming. It sounded great, right off the bat.
I was using a Dr Z 2x10 Cabinet (with Z speakers) and a 1x12 Avatar Cabinet (with the Cream)pushed by an EZG-50. It's such a nice combination. I think I may have hit a new level for my tone.
Thanks for the reviews guys! I think this speaker is a real winner!
