I’ve come around to really liking the Greenback 10 with my Ghia, and likewise running my M12 through it. It has great clarity, a sweet tone and surprisingly it lets a lot of that EL84 chime come through which is important to me. It’s not nearly as quiet as 95db would indicate either.
But we all know that the 10 and 12 inch versions of the same speaker aren’t always the same. So how do the Greenbacks compare to each other?
If it helps any, the Creamback is supposedly based on the Greenback and the Neo Creamback is said to sound very much like the standard model. And I have a 12” Neo Creamback that I like a lot.

The speakers I use for my Ghia are the G12M heritage, G12H 75hz heritage and the 10" Celestion Gold and all three sound fantastic in combination with the Ghia. And yes i think you like the 12"

Um, i've gone down this road before. I really loved the Greenback 10" and every time I switched to a 12" it just wan't the same sound. Glorious sound it is, but if your looking for the sound of the 10" it is not. . So I tried the 55hz Green Beret from WGS to my ears it was closer to the sound of the 10" Speaker and I used if for quite a while. WGS Doesn't show these on there site and haven't for a while but you can order them, they have made me one.
Just today, I put my WGS Green Beret into the Mather Short I had made. I ordered it with a convertible back so loaded up my Green Beret and closed back up. I was so surprised with the punchiness of that cab/speaker combination. The Greenbacks sound great when they are broken in, but these Berets sound great out of the box.
BTW: Speakers are a little hard to get right now, the supply line is choked up since they are almost all getting everything from China. Eminence has pulled things from their site, Reverb is low on inventory of different brands.

Greenback= my favorite speaker. Early breakup and a small magnet so it doesn't have a strong bass response. (which I like) I can't help you with the 10" vs 12" comparison.
