Which 2 of the following 3 Eminence speakers should I try out in my 1x10 Marsh tweed Princeton clone (5-6 watts)?

1. Ragin' Cajun
2. Lil Buddy (hemp cone)
3. Ramrod (british sounding)

I've tried the Cajun before in this amp, and I didn't feel that it had near the high end that the stock Weber alnico Sig10A did. I think I didn't give it enough of a chance to break in w/ this amp, though (and I've also realized that the Weber speaker is pretty bright/raspy sounding).

The Lil Buddy should be really smooth but is supposed to still have some sweet high end to it, and the Ramrod's british sounding tone may pair up well w/ a tweed amp-- although I'm a little concerned it will sound harsh.

I will either be cranking this amp for natural tube overdrive, or putting a Boss DS-1 in front of it for heavier grit at lower volumes.

Whichever speaker I like less, I can still use it in the bottom of my 4x10 tweed Bassman, so it will still be put to good use.

So which 2 should it be? Let's vote on it....
