Legend 1028 they are the same as the blue frame speakers used in the first reissues of the Fender Bassman if you can find them used.

I have a pair of Legend 1058s in my 5F4 clone. They sound killer. A pair of Ragin Cajuns would also be good -- a little bolder in the mids than the Legends. Neither the Cajuns nor the 1058s break up early. I would guess that the 1028s would break up fairly early.

For blues I would go with the 1028's or the emmi blue frame (same thing) Angela instruments has them: www.angela.com.
Use quite a few of these. Good sound clean, but they break up nice, with smooth transistion as they are overdriven. ALNiCO rules for blues.

As much as I adore a typical 4x10 cab/amp sound, a 2x10 (except for a few exceptions) sounds thin, just not quite enough gonads in the lows and low mids for me. One speaker that really knocked me out though was the Eminence Copperhead. They were in a reissue Vibroverb that was in for servicing. Those speakers had it going on, they sounded more like a pair of 12s... big and full bodied.

Tim,

Many of the new Eminence 10s do have a big fat sound, especially paired up in a 2x10. FWIW, I had a quad of Copperheads in a 5F6A-type cabinet. To my ears, the sound was rather boomy, i.e., too much lows and low mids. But a 2x10 of Copperheads is very nice (though there are some cone cry issues).
