RE: Hemp Reconed Mesa/Celestion MC 90s ...

... to be specific, Stale, which make excellent P.A. speakers, too! Brown Soun's crew treats this retired printer like rock royalty. They also reconed a pair of Utility Advents, which are still rockin' strong a decade later. Late owner John Harrison said he also had several requests for hemp-reconed Celestion V 30s, which were used for hi-fi applications. Recipients said they delivered the best mid-range their multi-kilo-buck gear ever replicated. Remember, Celestion's fabled Alnico Blue was originally designed for radio duty. As were several now classique Jensens. Lynn Olson once tested a 12" Tone Tubby Alnico driver in full range configuration, & found "... it sounds really good. Hemp does something you don't see in the exotic carbon-fiber, Kevlar, metals, or this-n-thatium exotics; it doesn't break up. No cone cry, no raspy breakup, no hashy grating sound at high frequencies or at high levels".
