Efficient speakers?

nichol · May 1st, 2006, 12:53 PM

I'm looking to replace the stock 10 inch speaker in my Kalamazoo Reverb 12 (12watts). I was wondering what speakers y'all would recommend for high headroom/volume?

thanks!

The Neo is a very efficient speaker and won't add any weight to your combo. You'll get every ounce of headroom your amp has to offer.

Weber 10F125. VERY efficient. Get it with light dope.

I'm leaning towards the Weber 10F125. Do I want the 20 or 30 watt version for my 12 watt amp? I suspect that the amp will be putting out close to 20 watts peak, so if clean headroom is my goal then the 30 watt speaker seems to make sense. Am I right?

Personally, I'd go with the higher capacity speaker.
