125161 vs 125155

Post by louis »

Hi everyone !

I know that at the conventions ,one of the favorate Fane was the 125161
and that the 125155 is also good but what is the tonal difference between
both,

I maybe have a chance of buying a cab loaded with 155's

Thank's!

Just do it and don't look back! 8)

I really don't remember the differences. It wasn't night and day like any HIWATT Fane compared to any Celestion.

IIRC the 155 is more akin to the 161 than the 231 or 142. I do remember being pleasantly surprised with them.

I wish I was more help!
Hopefully at the next HI-TONE board meeting, we can refresh our memories with more side by side comparison.

I can tell you with pretty high confidence that you will like them!

They were later models in the Hylight Hiwatt era and are certainly "keepers".
