    What would be the best sounding speaker in a Tweed Twin clone amp. Would a vintage Jensen P12N, not the current version, be the best? Whats a fair price for a vintage Jensen P12N?

    I think the Webers in the RI Fender low-power twin sound great. Do you have a low-power twin, or full power version?

    the weber 12A150A sounds wonderful in the low power tweed twin reissue.

    My buddy has an original lo-power tweed Twin. He bought a pair of vintage P12Ns off the bay for $300. I've seen plenty of pairs go for $300 - $350. They are typically black organ pulls (pulled out of old Hammond organs). They sound fantastic. He gigs the amp.

    That's the stuff. Those are the ticket in a lo-power Twin.
