  • Quick speaker help!

    Alright everyone, I am sure most of you guys have read my speaker options on the other post about the best 10" Speaker. My final decision was the weber 10" signature alnico's. However, I just found out Guitar Center has $20 off $99 or more plus free shipping, but is ending 1/9 (today) and I was considering the eminence Crankin Country tone kit. I am not a country player but it comes with two Legend 1058's and two Copperheads. They both seem like great speakers and I think for the same price as I would be paying for the webers probably better speakers considering the webers I was considering are the lowest model. I really like the 1058's and the low end the produce and I think I would like the copperheads. I could get the whole set for something like $213 shipped, pretty good deal! Heres my thing though, they are all 75 watt speakers, at lower volumes with my super reverb, will they not sound good since they have such a high handling? Or will they just have better clean headroom?
    Happiness. Only real when shared.

    No problem at all with having generous extra power handling.
    What really matters is: does their tone suit you, or not?
    If you like them ......
    And yes, Webers are great, but as with anywhere else, entry level products are ..... entry level.
    Brand alone is an indicator, but not the full picture.

    Edit: the 1058 are brighter, closer to what you would expect from a 10" guitar speaker; the Copperheads are warmer, smoother and less peaky.
    Wouldn´t use them "alone" (unless I wanted to play Jazz), but the combination must be very good.

      What JM says...

      Wattage rating of a speaker is the heat it can take before burning up the voice coil, it bears little/no direct relationship to early/late breakup or tone. Due to advances in materials, a given voice coil can handle 4 or 5 times the wattage of an equvalent speaker from the late 50's.

      Lots of low wattage amp sound great with 75W or 100W speakers.

        Great to hear! I am ordering my cabinet tomorrow, and a good friend at a big box music store is pricing me some speakers! I will deffinetly be posting some pictures on all of my posts relating to this amp when I am finished.
