10" Speaker Recommendations for my Egnater Rebel 20 Head

[longjaw]

Hey there, I'm after a 2 x 10" cab and am wondering what sort of speakers to put in.

Currently on my list are -
Celestion G10 Vintages
Jensen P10R's
Jensen C10R's
Celestion G10N's

Anyone know how these will fair with my Rebel 20 head?

The Jensens are "American" sounding speakers and the Celestions are more of a "British" sounding speaker. Deluxe Reverbs and Super Reverbs had Jensens and Marshalls had Celestions in them. So I guess it depends on which sound you're going for. Now if I could have a Jensen when I'm playing the 6V6's and a Celestion when I'm playing the EL84's - that would be pretty cool!

Cheers guys - some food for thought there (although a Celestion Gold is well outside of my price range!).

I like the description of the Eminence Legend - http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/em ... p-897.html

Anyone used one of these?

I currently use Eminence Ragin Cajuns and Ramrods in my 4x10. Comparatively speaking the Eminence speakers are brighter with tighter low end than both my 2x12 (v30's) and 4x12 (gt75's). I can't speak to either Jensen or Celestion 10's but I am quite satisfied with my current setup.

Thanks guys - I've decided on a pair of Eminence 1058s - which are modelled on Jensens - should give a nice single coil tone with the Rebel 20 and a Strat or Tele - http://www.eminence.com/pdf/Legend_1058.pdf

Pair of Eminence 1058's ordered this morning, bit of a bonus as the website I got them from had a tenner knocked off their usual price! :applause:

Will report back on my thoughts of their sound IDC
