Celestion speakers in Marshall JVM & TSL combos

StefB

Can anyone tell me if the Celestion 'Vintage' speaker that comes as standard in JVM & TSL 2x12 combos is the same as a standard Vintage 30?

I've read somewhere that the ones Marshall use are bespoke, and 75w power rating rather than the usual 60w.

As far as I know it is. The other one is a 'Heritage', which is nothing to do with the new Heritage series and seems to be a rebadged G12M-70 or a close relative of it.

The V30 rating was originally 70W, not 60 - it was changed at some point in the late 90s I think, but Marshall and Mesa stuck with the 70W rating on their custom ones for a while, although Mesa at least have changed now which makes me think Marshall will have too.

Thanks John.
