Effect of speaker change on an amps sound?

[YJM_Rocks]

What does a speaker change do for an amp? Can it make a bad amp sound decent or better. Can it turn a good amp into a great one? Just wondering how much difference it makes. Seems to me like it would make a big one. Well the point i'm trying to get at is, if i changed the speaker in that Pignose 40 watt amp, would it make it sound decent? I don't know how reliable this source is, but this guy here seems to think its a decent amp with a tube change and a resistor change.

havent tried one of those bigger pignose amps but the speaker has a big infulence on not just tone but how loud an amp is

A great example is the marshall cabs with G12T-75 compared to the greenbacks. I dig the greenbacks but not the G12T's makes it sound like a different amp to me.

I thought it should make a big difference. My Behringer has 12/70 Jensens and it sounds better than most any SS amp i've played.

yeah, from my cheap '75 peavey speakers to my big jbl d130f, my bandmaster sounds totally different!

Efficiency of the speaker will greatly affect loudness too. Now my bandmaster reaches band volume at around 3.5-4.5 instead of 7.
