The speaker in mine seems to be a cheap replacement. And I want to try some more options.

So, if any of you have experience with these amps and the possible speaker choices, please chime in.

Also, please talk about what the end results was for each option. What happened with the Tone, the Headroom, and the Feel, etc. Anything that you think might be useful info.

Thanks.

Also, do you think it would be good to make a new Baffle, and try either a 10" or even 12" Speaker?

I've heard that some feel the 8" is ideal for these circuits. So, not sure what the scoop is.

Weber Sig 8 Blue?

Celestion Blue (12")?

Eminence?

Which way to go?

I have a P10Q in my 64 BF Princeton Reverb (recreation) and dig it. Cranked up you start getting some sweet ZZ Top sounding distortion and compression; not much low end but I figure this amp wasn't made to get that sort of sound anyway. Pretty subjective review I know.
