A vintage heritage designed for restoration... and more
Originally created to bring vintage guitar amps back to life, this Cream speaker captures the sonic aesthetic of great Alnico models while handling more power. Within the Alnico family, it is one of the few models to reach 90 W, making it an ideal candidate to modernize a 1x12 combo without betraying its vintage character.
For whom and for what uses
Blues, rock, pop, or country guitarists seeking a full and enveloping tone will enjoy warm lows, textured mids that highlight playing at volume, and bright yet smooth highs. It excels as a replacement for speakers considered too stiff or aggressive in modern amps, while enhancing classic circuits.
What makes the difference in listening
Expressive Alnico, immediate touch
The Alnico magnet provides musical compression that rounds off the attack and promotes dynamic playing. The result is a broken-in sound that inspires confidence from the very first rehearsal.
Spectrum balance
With an extended frequency response, the Cream comfortably covers the guitar range: full lows, rich mids, and airy highs, perfect for singing cleans as well as creamy overdrives.
Robust construction and efficiency
Its steel frame ensures rigidity and durability, while the 100 dB sensitivity guarantees excellent volume at equal amplifier power, ideal for both stage and studio use.
