Well like I said above, The NEO speaker is great but for me lacked the depth and character I was looking for. It has terrific range and response and is a good speaker for a stock CC1.

Im no speaker or amp tech but Ive found that the closer the speakers rated wattage is to the amps rated wattage, the faster it breaks up.
For instance:\
A 15w speaker in a 15w amp may start to break up at 7 on the volume dial. wheras a 30w speaker in the same amp may not break up till 10. And a 50w speaker may not break up at all and stay clean and crisp to full power.
Sometimes speaker breakup is part of the sound people like. Not me. I just ordered a 30w speaker to replace the 20w that came stock in my small 12w practice Amp because I did a few mods to the amp and now the stock 20w speaker breaks up real bad at upper and lower end.
Its really never ending.

By the way, The Celestion Neodog is a 80w rated speaker in a 30w rated amp.
