Well I have heard from Many different sources that the original 70 watt speakers where designed with a lower bottem, and a little less mid's. I have heard from people that said boogie stated that, I personaly never heard them say that.
Which is understandble, the time boogie went into full swing was grundge, which was muddy style of music, more lows then anything, then came nu-metal which was all downtuned and once again not needing as much mid's.
Now according to Boogie it was a mis print on the lables and there is nothing different between the 70 watt celestions and the 60 watt celestions. I have trouble believing they mis printed so many lables, from the 2x12's right up the 4x12's for so many years.
The newer cabs have the 60 watt V30's which are suppose to be the normal V30 that you can buy anywhere else. Reason Boogie switched to these is people starting using other cabs with Mesa Heads because they wanted the more midrange that the normal V30's had. This is one of the reaons the Orange cabs became such a hit, small in size, alot of mid's which is what todays musicians seem to be leading towards.
Of course when i say todays musician, you have to understand they go by what is hot, which is pop, punk etc. and they will make more money by targeting this crowd then they would metal heads, who do have a good following, but not nearly the numbers that punk/pop/emo has.
