GouxMan	Re: Cone cry from Weber speaker I have heard the term "cone cry" in reference to Celestion speakers, but I am not clear what sound that is you speak of. If you are refering to a slight crackle in the attack, then my Celestions and Oxfords both do that as they break up. If you are refering to a separate tone, a lower "difference tone " or sub harmonic note that is not the fundamental note, then my opinion is that it is almost always caused by the amp. All my BF Fenders do this to some degree when pushed hard, and I assume yours does too. Marshalls do it. The worst by far are the class A Vox style amps, where the sub tone is very pronounced. Some people love that sound. Personally, I don't care for it, but I have to admit it is rarely audible when playing with a band. GouxMan
