Howdy,

Jimmy, you've already named my two favorite speakers! The Weber AlNiCo Silver Bell lets my Dr. Z Carmen Ghia achieve pleasing, chimey clean tones. And of course the "Ya-Ya's" tones are there when cranked. I've played a C-blue an it's fantastic, too.

Don't know about favourites, but I recently put an Eminence Lil' Buddy in a solid state amp and it improved immensely. I also like other Eminence speakers like the Cannabis Rex. I don't seem to get along with Celestions except sometimes the Vintage 30.

Peace, Mike.

JBL D130:



The Grateful Dead liked them, too:

Totally depends on the amp for me. My Fenders are loaded with Webers.

+1...it's all down to the combination. The CR was a real upgrade and works beautifully in my Kustom '36 Coupe.

[Chris Winsemius]

It all depends on the amp, cabinet and soundwishes imo.

I really like:
Celestion Alnico Blue in a tweed Deluxe (5E3)
Celestion G65 in blackface/silverface 20+ Watts amps
80/90s Celestion 10L35s in SuperReverbs (blackface/silverface)
EV15xxx in a '64 style Fender blackface VibroVerb
Old or Heritage Celestion M20s for a creamy/smooth Plexi-style amp
Old Celestion M25 Greenbacks for AC/DC, etc. with a Plexi style amp
Celestion Vintage 30s (in a closed back cab!) for VOX style amps
etc.

Has to be the JBL D130 a magnificent piece of engineering. Those were the days, when Fender made twins with JBL speakers. I would buy a new twin but you no longer have the option of decent speakers.

Agreed, I think it's more like what speaker gets along with your amp best. My little old 2x6V6 Airline likes a C12R, My old Gibson GA15? loves it's Weber P12Q, my Super Reverb gets a combination of speakers (different strengths & weakness'), Harmony 420 has the stock C15 PS and they were meant to be together. I have a 2x12 loaded w/ Weber C12N's, they are a little dark, but sometimes I like that (sound great when I play Jazz).

I am torn between my Weber california's and my '59 Blue Bell in my GA-30 Invader. Two totally different but amazing sounds.

Everything I have tried form Weber has been top notch. Any future speaker upgrades will be Webers for sure.

[BiggerJohn]

For CLEAN, JBL D120/130 series

[jimmynumber9]

I love hearing what speakers people prefer. Their are so many, it's crazy.

[OM 21]

As much as I liked the Cannabis Rex, I think my current alnico tone tubby blows it away.

[FenderGuy53]

C-Rex, Ramrod, Tone Tubby "40/40"
