Rectifier 2x12 rated at 140 watts?

[Darden]

My local dealer has a Rectifier 2x12, but it's rated at 140 watts, instead of the 120 stated on the Boogie website. What's up with that, did they use different speakers at some time? I only want it if it has Vintage 30's. Thanks.

In the olden days V30s were labeled 70w speakers.

My 4x12 Recto cab is rated at 280 watts. For some reason Mesa's V30s are rated at 70 watts per speaker instead of the normal 60 watts.

That's because Mesa's go to 11 :shock:

Well, why didn't they just make 10 louder? :lol:

But yeah, see all the above posts for the real answer to your question.

5 is loud enough, why have a louder 10?
