Ok, I'll bite on the speaker questions because I've tried a bunch of speakers in my amps (Ampeg Reverberocket, Fake Ampeg Reverberocket Reissue). This was one of my favorites. It has big treble, big mids, and big bass. It sounds bright in a good way, with a smooth top end and plenty of bass and mids. Didn't sound sterile to me, although it was very clean. It sounded good both clean and with distortion. By no means should you assume that it's only good for country or jazz. It did sound slightly harsh at low volumes through a low-power amp. This went away when the amp was turned up, or when a higher power amp was used. I never put it back in my low-power amp, so it may not have been fully broken in when I used it there.
The heavy duty construction inspired confidence and it looked cool because it was white.
Along with the Weber P-12-Q (now called the 125 series something or other), it is my favorite speaker.

I put this speaker in a Rivera R55-112 about 2 years ago. I absolutely love it! It sounds to me like a cross between a JBL and an EV, only much lighter and a bit less efficient. If bold and punchy but clean is your tonal preference, don't pass this one up! (Note: Mine has the paper dustcap; it took about 6 hours of moderate volume playing to 'break it in'.)
