IMO, ET10 takes the cake. Sweet top end rich mids, tight lows. I have loved every ET speaker I have. 3 of them so far. ET65 12. (my fav speakers) If I ever need 10s, I know where to start my search.
Just bought a retro 10 for my pro junior iv cant wait to make the swap! Think itll be perfect after this review. Great to support a near local company too! Retro 10 is 🔥
I just put a Retro 10 in a Fender Champion combo amp. The stock speaker was always thin and had harsh high notes. The Retro 10 was warmer throughout the range and FAR more refined high notes. It appears to be louder, but that may be from the fullness in the mids. The Retro 10 is a really good speaker.
et10 sounds like a 1 trick pony-good for cutting(if not peircing) mids/upper mids.The Retro10 sounds more modern and balanced,wider frequency response and more flexible .
Yes, trying to decide between these 2 , I just got a 1968 marshall Basketweave 8x10. Has all original speakers, but 80 watts isn't enough. I have 4 celestion gold alnicos, I know I know, but I'm stuck with them for the moment. Trying to decides which will pair the best. 8x10!!!!!! With a Bludotone bludo drive, a d style ods style amp. 100 watt. Maybe the et, but I like both maybe the retro in the video but close.
They sound like they actually would compliment each other quite well, with slight different tonalities. I think they both sound pleasing, but it all comes down to subjective opinions and such. My opinion - stick them both together in a cab, because I bet that gives the fullest sound spectrum.
Never tried the Retro, but I have the ET10, and it's a gorgeous speaker. I think it just comes down to the fact the Retro is a better match for this particular amp. I'm using it with a Two-Rock clone, and it sounds amazing. Completely different tones that what I'm hearing here.
It's so hard to judge speakers from a compressed video on TH-cam. And then the mic position, and the fact that you don't hear the full range because the mic picks up only part of the speaker. Also, the amp and the guitar are a big factor. I can't judge these speakers on this video for my Two-Rocks playing with a strat. But I'm glad to hear the ET10 sounds great with your Two-Rock, as I'm having a Two-Rock 4x10 with ET10 speakers coming today.
I love WGS! Unfortunately this demo doesn't impress. The ET10 sounds too much like my cheapo AC4. I'm guessing it's the amp and guitar more than the speakers.
Excellent review switching back and forth like that with each tone type. Great work.
+northfortyrecords Thanks!

I have the ET65 and the Retro 30 (12” versions of these) in a cab. They sound wonderful together

How’d it turn out???
@@HamzaJamzaFamza lol never switched it out just kept the Jensen. Lol
@@drewg3087 haha right on. I just threw an Eminence Copperhead in mine. It’s amazing how much a speaker can change the impression of an amp! It’s nuts

Great demo! But please, G10C vs Veteran 10 =)

Sounds like they would pair up perfectly. I could never understand why the WGS ET series was in their British section, it sounds American to me.
I think I'll take one of each. Sounds great! Great demo.
ET 10 my vote.
Nice , retro has some more spank-o-bility. Bought one for my diy cab
I would considering pairing them for a bigger playground for the mic :)
I am not good with guitar terminology - but is it correct to say the retro 10 sounds more compressed during the overdrive part?

Oh I so want a 68 Princeton with an et10 in it.
I can't really tell the difference, or no different enough. Im looking for a general purpose 10in speaker for a wide variety of rock.

I meant to say your Two-Rock clone :-)
can you maje a video with green beret 10
Both sound great, but I would have to go with the Retro 10...maybe a 410 cab w/ 2 of each ? :o)
I wonder if the Retro 10 is a10 inch version of the Retro 30?
+Allen Toler It most certainly is
