Speaker AND tube quality make an enormous difference... I had two momentous experiences. 1) 30 years ago found in classifieds a beat vintage Marshall 4x12 slant cabinet with greenbacks. Was amazing. Never heard anything as sweet as that sound from any local band playing ordinary gear. Humble Pie and Beano in my garage. Sold it to a recording studio for 10x what I paid. 2) Had a no name 100 watt head (the one that drove the Marshall cabinet) that was loaded with choice vintage USA tubes. Realized I would not be able to get much $$ for it, so removed and kept all the tubes and loaded it with garden variety sovtek or whatever tubes...sound quality was significantly degraded. I became a true believer in speaker and tube quality... I realize I made a glaring omission regarding the vintage tubes...i said USA made tubes...should be Holland, UK, and USA in that order of importance...Brimar, Bugle Boys, Telefunken, Phillips...RCA,etc...
