now that we're past all that technical talk Speaker sensitivity is huge. I replaced the Ten 30's (95 dB) in my '68 Custom Vibrolux with Ragin Cajuns (100 dB), now it's a mini Twin. Glassy, smooth, loud, percussive; like a traditional Fender amp should be.
Just tonight, I replaced the second G12M with an Alnico Gold in my 2000 AC30TB, so now it has a Gold and a Blue. Even with just a 2 dB increase, it's noticeable and the amp is truly magic. Had me giggling like the first time I ever played a TBX.
This isn't to say lower sensitivity speakers are bad. I just wonder why Fender still continues to put low sensitivity speakers in their amps while extremely similar but higher sensitivity speakers exist.

Between the Cannabis Rex and the P12Q, I wouldn't worry too much about having access to both options at any time. You're still in the same ballpark, which is important; it's not like you're swapping between a Jensen and a Greenback, for example.The first plan was to replace the Jensen p12q (94db) in my Princeton '65 Reissue Reverb (15w) with a Cannabis Rex speaker (102db); that would cost me about $90 but I would lose any optionality should I want to go back to the Jensen sound (for harmonica, for example.
