Re: New Vox AC-15

Could the one with the upgraded speaker REALLY be worth $300 more?

Re: New Vox AC-15

I'm not sure if the upgraded speaker sound is worth the $300 since I never had a chance to play through greenbacks, just the blue alnicos. It wasn't an issue anyway since GC sold it to me for $400 off their price tag simply because the Tolex on the corners was ripped. I can tell you that the sound of those speakers makes me forget about the look of the Tolex.

I suppose if I wanted I could take some of the cash I saved and use it to have the amp re-Tolexed.

honestly, i think i liked the one with the vox speakers (wharfedale made, i think?) more than the celestion blues. I guess its just preference. I certainly couldnt hear that much of a difference, but what do i know

Re: New Vox AC-15

That Alnico Blues is such an expensive speaker! I guess they consider it a part of the Vox sound, but honestly, I'd probably want a Vintage 30 anyway.
It gives it a better low end and mids. The Blues are sweet, but may not handle a LP neck pickup as well as a more durable higher wattage Celestion.
I'd just buy the cheaper versions, and spend the extra money on different speakers for it.
