Beautiful amps, a nice diversity, each amp allows the blues to show different aspects of what make are them so great.
Your amp guy speaks the truth. The MAGIC is in the Pulsonic cone.
My advice, is don't bother with a reconed speaker, like you said if that is the case just go modern. The prices for a reconed speaker are absurd.
The condition of my B024 is remarkable. I also have a pair of G12S from '72 with pulsonic cones. They don't get a lot of love but I like them, they are lighter in the
bass than a G12M and distort earlier.
The gentleman who made the famous Trainwreck amps, did some work with Celestion to try and replicate the old Pulsonic cones and his thoughts were that the
wood pulp used to make the cones had unusually long wood fibers and that was the key to the cone recipe. I think it is analogous to Gibson's use of old growth
Honduran mahogany for their famous Les Pauls. At least that's my thinking. Good Wood.
The science of these things comes down to the basis of good materials, craftsmanship and care doesn't it.........luckily Celestion still make an outstanding product(in my opinion).
