I'm looking for a less efficient and warm speaker which handles overdrive well for my 18 watt Ampeg Reverberocket II.
Considering a Weber Alnico Sig 12 or Sig 12S
I had a reissue Jensen P12R (I think the cone was ribbed) and the volume and headroom and overdrive were perfect -- the only problem was it was very bright and had too much flub in the low end.
I have also had a Weber 12F150 (25 watt; no dope) Sounded beautiful clean but had way too much headroom and was very harsh when overdriven
The Reverberocket is currently loaded with an Eminece Cannabis Rex which has very full and rich tone and sounds equally well clean and overdriven. The problem is it is a very loud speaker and I can't get the volume past noon even in a loud band situation
I guess I'm looking for something very similar to the P12R in tone but not as bright -- something less efficient so I can get the amp up louder and where the speaker also adds some color and distortion.
