    Very very bright and detailed. Ridiculously bright.

    if in good nick, metal cap, it's worth a lot of money.  (£300)

    As an all round speaker, great with a Hiwatt, hopeless with a Marshall.

    Very good speakers, Gassage describes the tone pretty well although maybe a bit harshly :).

    Just be careful with the power ratings - Fane are nowhere near as conservative and used to have a bad reputation for being easy to blow. Half the stated rating is safe, or maybe a little more.

    It's not ideal, but it shouldn't do any harm. If you haven't bought it yet I probably wouldn't though.
