[Harp-L] Re: New Speakers for my amp

[B Boggs <ceudoazul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary, 
  Weber has been very good to me.
  Years ago I installed a Weber in a Blues Jr. and Ted and his staff were very helpful in selecting a speaker for harp for a band that played at moderate volume.
  Later I got a re cone done on a '51 eight inch Jensen AlNiCo (great sounding) for a small Valco. 
  I also got a twelve inch AlNiCo for a 40 watt Magnatone amp. The staff at Weber impressed me. When someone didn't know about harp, they got back to me or had Ted available.
  The other twelve I got for the Maggie is a ceramic from Southbay Ampworks, a Scumback.
  Jim at Southbay Ampworks helped me pick a speaker from their line-up to complement the Weber AlNiCo. The Scumback ceramic is lighter.
   I wanted to mix different speakers (with correct watt and ohm rating) to get a pleasing sound and I like it.
  The amp is a different animal now.
  For not hearing any of the three speakers I got from Weber before I installed them, I have a lot of regard for their speakers, how they sound and their customer service .
   
  Best,
  Brian

Subject: [Harp-L] New speakers

   
  I have this Rivera combo amp that I love. When I bought it, I  had the
  
store swap out the stock Celestion 12"
speakers for JBL's. I love the big warm sound on the JBL's but they  
come with big magnets making the amp very heavy.

Any recommendations on good fat sounding lighter replacements?

Do they make amp speakers that are also designed for better dispersion?
