There are countless quality speakers out there, of which the sonic response curves vary greatly. It is highly possible that "better" speaker may equate to "I hate this tone, where's my old speaker" ! Just keep in mind that " better" speaker does not automatically equate to "this is the tone I love". Then you can save money and enjoy the tone right out of the gate. I like buying used and broken-in speakers as long as they're perfectly healthy.
It takes a lot of hours of sound vibrations for the harsh treble from new stiff paper cones to soften up and reveal the speaker's real tone voice. I've learned that you simply can't install a new speaker and really hear it. It's like a warm JBL in its voicing, not exactly but sort of.īut back to my main point. I'm personally quite addicted to the JBL D120 (or K120) in my guitar amps.Īnd call me crazy, but I kinda like the Peavey Scorpion 12" speaker in a Deluxe Reverb. The Eminence Red Fang is also nice for the vintage and more British alnico flavor.Ī JBL D120 is a very popular sound, but different, and it will make the amp real heavy. It's a bit warmer than the Jensen, but the Jensens are good too. The Weber Alnico 12A125A is a real nice one.
This is especially true for the 1" or 1.25" voice coil Alnico types. It takes dozens or more hours for the paper to soften up and the tone to mellow. Keep in mind that just about any speaker will be real bright when brand new.
