I have vintage amps, but use a 1x12 modelling amp more often than not because it's small, light and gives me a variety of tones and makes a good platform for pedals. Plus, I'm not using something that is essentially irreplaceable (early Gibson amps with field coil speakers).
The original (by another well respected UK brand) speaker was kind of 'alright' but, I thought I could improve, and ended up spending more on trying out speakers than the amp cost.
What can I say. The F70 was good to start with, but now, after some playing-in, it's absolutely awesome. Even better than I hoped.
I have vintage Fanes and 'another UK brand' in a vintage 4x12, and, the F70 has that smoothness; bright and clear without that death-ray high frequency zit.

Congratulations on your FANE F70 Speaker.
Today I loaded the F70 in my Cabs. Before, I played through Celestion G12M-65 Creamback Speakers.
I bought a pair of new cabs with the Celestions inside. I was unhappy with the Creambacks. They are a good Speaker in one way - but not in my idea of a Strat-Sound. These Speakers were too closed for my taste.
My Strat has very good Pickups, Made by Andreas Kloppmann in Germany who is a friend of mine. These Pickups are bringing the good old Strat Sound back. This very good Strat was sounding so decorous, decent – but boring in one way with the Creambacks - for my taste.
With your F70 my Strat is now a naughty boy again, I can hear the Strings, and I have the never ending fine silky Trebles. When I am playing only with my HIWATT and your F70 Speaker, I hear at the same time parallel the Clean Tube Sound, a bit Compression Sound, a bit Crunch Sound, and a little bit of HIGH Gain Sound.
It is a wonder how your F70 Speaker can produce that. The sound is now a bit throaty again - Yeah! Attack, Twang, bell-like.....Everything in the Sound I like. Many thanks for this great Sound. I bought the Speakers through TUBE AMP DOCTOR in Worms in Germany.
Dear FANE-Team - Please take care. We Guitarists need you - also in the Future. Let’s Rock. And FREE THE TONE, as Pete Cornish says. And please maintain your high Quality and your idea of a very good sound. Your Maik Jantzen from Germany
