So a few years ago, I got a Peavey Valve King Royal 8 - basically a simple 5 watt tube amp with 1 12AX7 and 1 EL84. I guess I was fooled by the whole "tubes are good, right?" thing...
Since then it's spent most of the time sitting unused under the bed as I can get better sounds with less effort from modeling software.
Now I'm having a clear out and it's either got to get used or get out - so I'm wondering if it could be resurrected by a speaker upgrade.
The Celestion Super 8 doesn't cost that much - do you reckon it would be enough better than the stock speaker to be worth it?
There are also some 8" speakers from Jensen and Weber, but they cost quite a bit more and I don't know if it's worth spending over 1/3 the cost of the amp on a speaker.
