Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
Go for a Weber C10NQ. It's a speaker that uses the lightweight cone of the '66 Jensen C10Q and '58 P10Q but couples it with the beefy magnet and voice coil of a mid 60's Jensen C10N.
The new Jensen C10Q is to bright and edgey, IMO. It breaks in and gets better, but it's still a little to edgey for my tastes.
I'm a huge fan Ted Weber's 10" speakers but not so much for his 12" speakers...and I'm a huge fan of Celestion's 12" speakers but not their 10" speakers.
For 12's, go for Celestion. For 10's, go for Weber.

Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
It's not that I don't like them...I just like Celestion 12's better. And for some reason Ted has always had a little problem with "cone cry" on his undoped 12's...but when he applies a heavy coat of dope around the edge surround (like Celestion has always done) Ted's 12's lose to much brilliance and livliness.
I just think Ted does a great job on his 10" speakers and Celestion does a great job making 12's.

Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
Sometimes when a player is playing loud and with alot of overdrive (or not!) and you sting a note with alot of attack on the pluck, the note you're playing generates out of tune harmonics in the speaker itself - a resonance - and this sounds BAD! It's annoying and some of Ted's 12's have always suffered from cone cry to some degree.
It really depends on the player. I tend to up-pick and sting and squeeze out a lot of notes...I'm a blues player. Players who have a different style from me may never hear cone cry from a speaker that would generate so much cone cry for a player like me that I would find it unusable.

Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
You'd have to replace the baffle with an opening for a 10" speaker. I just bought a used but mint Celestion G12H30 on Ebay for $60. Just be patient and you can find plenty of great speakers for well under $200.

Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
can you avoid cone cry by using a speaker rated significantly higher than your amp? ie a 50W speaker in a 15W BJr?

Re: Jensen C10Q comparison
That is my lucky day, As a fan of Weber's 10" have you ever tried the Silver Ten? It seems form the description on Weber website like something that could do it for me.
