I recently purchased a '66 Ampeg Reverberocket 2, which sounds absolutely fantastic. It came with the original speaker and I thought it might be a good idea to swap it out, being that it's almost 50 years old and all.
I did some research here and on a few other forums and it seems like the Cannabis Rex is a popular choice. So, for the first time in my 20+ years of playing I bought a brand new speaker. I dropped it in last week and I really don't like the sound, very middy and kinda congested sounding (especially with dirt).
I know as new speakers break in the sound changes, but I should probably like it a little bit right of the bat, right? I've got maybe 8 hours of loud playing on it and the sound doesn't seem to be changing much. What are the odds of the speaker changing dramatically after once it breaks in? Maybe I should be looking for a speaker closer to the original Ampeg.
