Changing out the speakers. Just ordered the halfstack. What are the ohms? Are they only dictated by what speakers are in there or is it also part of the head? My first all tube amp.

O.O dude, you don't even know what the stock speakers are, but you're already changing them? .....

Ohms are basically defines the resistance that speakers apply to the output from the amp. Higher it is, more the resistance is. Most modern tube amps today support 4/8/16ohm cabinet options. Consult your amp's manual and cabinet before you make any changes.
I also agree with super rad. Why change them before even you try them?

I know Peavey uses Shefield speakers or something. I just don't understand ohms.

Cause I like celestions. Have played through amps at my local Guitar Villa. All three amps I played through had either Celestion 30s, G12T-75s, or K-100s. Was going to play a amp with Greenbacks, but it was sold. I think the store did it purposely. lol

^ Liking Celestion speakers doesn't mean you automatically don't like Sheffield's.
I would save the energy but that's me...

exactly. there's a ton of people who use a stock 6505+ and get a great tone out of it. i'd say save yourself the backbreaking work and extra $350-$500 for when you really start wanting to get a drastic change in tone, especially when you haven't even experienced the tone of what you've already got!

Yeah, I suppose that's true for a lot of vintage gear as well. Fender always did have great matching cabs for their stuff.
