Hi Hi-tone Team,
How many different flavors of awesome tone are on the menu these days for the treble-y (i.e. non-bass) cabs? '231 & '142 & '161 clones of the classic plum backed Fane speakers? At a glance, I was not able to determine this on the website:

It's been a few years since my last correspondence. I am starting again to play electric guitar often and looking to do it best tone wise. -Z

Hi Zells,
We have the DR-F, the '231 and the Crescendo A.
not sure we will pursue the 122142. we have all the bases covered pretty well.

Cool. Thank you for the info. OK, I have more questions. Please, refresh my memory. The HI-TONE DR-F speaker was inspired by and similar to the Hylight era Hiwatt Fane speaker model #155161, which had only a brief production run (circa 1978?) and was the typical favorite at the annual Vintage Hiwatt Conventions, correct?
I see the thread titled "The old 122231 is resurrected. Welcome the HI-TONE '231" so that's self explanatory. The 122231 was the most common Hiwatt Fane from the mid to late 70s Hylight era if I recall correctly.
The Crescendo A is based upon the classic Fane The Crescendo, I presume?
So, If a HI-TONE fanatic wishes to purchase a pair of cabs with different speaker models loaded in, what is the procedure for a fanatic to do this? Send a direct message on here or email concurrent with the cart order on

email is definitely the best.

the cabs are identified like the genuine HIWATT cabs were.
HT4121, HT2121 are the first series. loaded with DR-Fs
HT4123, HT2123 are the third series, loaded with '231s
if we ever do a '142 it will be the HT4122, HT2122 etc.

Oh, okay. I got confused because the '231 loaded HT4123, HT2123, HT1123 are
not shown in the website list of cabinets here as of 01-Dec-18

The '231 loaded HT4123, HT2123, HT1123 are shown here along with the other cabs.
