Red Vibro Champ Piggy w/ 10" baffle ?

My amp guy called me up and said since my 8" Weber speakers hadn't come in, did I want to hear what the amp sounds like with a 10" speaker. He said he installed a temp 10" baffle and I could go over and hear what it sounds like. Anyway the amp sounded huge with that 10" alnico speaker. It stayed clean up to about 5 and then after that it got progressively dirtier. At about 8 it went into a sustained overdrive. Man I can't wait to hear it with the 8's. Here's what it looked like with the single 10" baffle.

I'm surprised you haven't tried a 12" speaker, since it looks like it might fit.
(I've heard that many people like larger speakers in Champs, even so far as a 4x10 cab).

I've tried the VC with 2x10 , 2x12, and a single 12,but I wanted this one with a 2x8 set up.
