"The speakers are lovely for bluesy/rock-n-roll sorts of sounds, so very much like a Celestion greenback (funny that)."

The sonic quality of the 30W, 50W and 75W are similar, as these models employ similar cone tooling and cone pulps.

The 30W model is the brightest of the range - it employs the lightest voice coil, wound on a paper bobbin.

The paper bobbin has advantages and disadvantages. The paper bobbin is weaker and allows the cone to breakup more than the stronger bobbins like fiberglass and Kapton. The 50W model is very similar to the 30W except the paper voice coil bobbin has been replaced with fiberglass, higher power rating and environmentally more reliable than paper. The cone body is also slightly heavier thus requiring more power for breakup and crunch.

The 75W model employs a heavier cone body and again requires more power to breakup, also has a longer coil winding so it is cleaner and the tone is slightly warmer due to the heavier coil and cone body. The coil is wound on a high temperature plastic bobbin material called Kapton. The sonic signature of loudspeakers is primarily based on the physical cone shape and material properties.

"Massive, solid bottom end, gritty mids and snarling highs when overdriven. Sounds great clean too, lots of character and chime. Lorantz simply rule with overdriven tones, it's the 'classic rock' sound incarnate!"

LORANTZ "U" SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS REISSUE GREENBACK CLONE - Bass, P.A & Multi-Purpose Models

The principle difference between the "P" and the "U" models is the magnet size. The increased magnet size has the following sonic benefits:

The U model is louderThe bass response in the U range is tighterThe mids appear louder in relation to the tightness of the bassThe voice coil follows the electrical signal more closely due to the stronger magnet force, making the tone more 'detailed'

Basically, these models sound more like Celestion’s modern re-issue of the Vintage Greenback.
