10 inch speaker for bright amp

[Rabelais]

Hi. I'm looking for a 10 inch speaker, with rolled-off treble, for the closed back cabinet of a bright amp (Vox Lil' Night Train). I'm considering the follwing options:

Celestion G10 Greenback
Eminence Legend 10516
Warehouse Guitar Speakers 10" GC/S
Jensen 10" Falcon (JC10-40FA)
Weber 10F150H

Which one(s) will sound better in that amp?, Which one(s) will help me to control the top end?.

Thanks.

I love the sound of my LNT with an Alnico Weber; but mine is a 12" version.

Hi. Which Weber Alnico?.

The 12A125A with white basket. Looks pretty.

The sound clips are worth listening to.

Ragin Cajun also sounds real nice. Top end, but not screechy. http://www.eminence.com/support/tone-guide/?model=Ragin_Cajun

What about the Eminence Lil' Buddy, the Weber 10VS, and the Weber DT10?.

Re: 10 inch speaker for bright amp

the lil buddy is a FAT sounding 10. can be dark though but doesnt seem like thats an issue for you. i havd a 2x10 with a lil buddy and a p10q and its an amazing combo

How is the treble responde of the Jensen p10q?. Fender uses it for its '59 Bassman RI, and Laney used it for its Lionheart 410 combo, so it must be a very good speaker.

Look into the Ragin Cajun. I know that's a common replacement for that amp.

Don't hesitate to completely roll out the trebles. Tone Stack works differently to other amps.
Choose other tubes. Remove the Sovteks EL84 and Sovtek 12AX7-WA.
Maybe, a couple of JJ ECC83S gold-pin and a matched-pair of JJ EL84 could help there

My vote goes for a Celestion Gold, as speaker

Eminence Lil buddy. Its essentially the 10 inch version of the cannabis Rex. Fat bottom smooth top

If you're looking for something to break up quick, go with the Weber.

Or mabe the Weber 10 VS with hemp cone, for a more British vibe?.

Re: 10 inch speaker for bright amp

Celestion Greenback will roll off the highs but still give you really aggressive midrange.

Re: 10 inch speaker for bright amp

Lots of choices, it seems!

Re: 10 inch speaker for bright amp

the p10r is the one fender used (at least on mine) i prefer the p10q. little bigger sounding but still aggressive in the mids, especially with overdrive. not a smooth sounding speaker but does a cool thing

Re: 10 inch speaker for bright amp

Yeah... the Greenback in my Princeton Reverb all but killed the characteristic Fender highs.
