Thanks, Charles. An unwanted, poorly designed, and overdriven speaker sound.

Sorry, I figured everyone knows what cone cry is, but Ted's site has a good explanation. Essentially, cone cry sounds like an out of tune note that follows around every note that you play, and it is almost as loud as the note you are playing but not quite. It is there just enough to make you think you're going crazy! I don't mind microphonic tubes so much, but cone cry I can't handle. It often sounds the same as ghost notes in an amp, which is what I thought it was for a long time. Really efficient speakers like the Celestion Blue often have cone cry because they are not doped. Ted Weber got some criticism for it in his early offerings too until he offered the option of a light doping on all his speakers. Doping the speaker cures the cone cry issue usually, but it also changes the sound of the speaker.

Somewhat related question - why did they discontinue the AC30CC1? There was one for sale at a neighborhood shop for $599.....good deal?
