I've tried the new Jensen C10Q's in a 2-10 cabinet that I got a couple years ago, didn't like them at all, they were very harsh and bright sounding to my ears, and that's with a tube amp.
Also had a SF Vibrolux that had the RI Jensens, didn't like them in that amp either.
In both cases these speakers were broken in, so it's not a matter of them just being new.
Also tried a RI Jensen C12 in a Princeton Reverb, didn't care for it either.
My Koch tube amp has a 90 Jensen speaker, and I do like it so I'm not just "anti-Jensen".
But FWIW I think the Eminence 10" speakers, both alnico and ceramic magnet versions & the new Redcoats are much better than the new Jensens.
IF you can find them the Reverend Alltone speakers are great too, they don't make them anymore but they still pop up for sale.

YMMV of course.
