Recommend a good 8" speaker

[Sly_D]

I have a Valve King Royal 8 amp that sounds absolutely great but which speaker is absolute junk.

What should I buy?

Jensen C8R or P8R?
Weber? What type?

Anything else?

I'm looking to get somehting for good cleans to good hard rock. I know little about 8 inches speaker.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Recommend a good 8" speaker

I am actually searching for a good 8" speaker right now for a small practice amp. Between "vintage" and "modern" tones, I prefer the modern sounds of ceramic magnet speakers and higher power handling. For an amp like that, I would consider something like the Jensen C8R. If you are willing to spend, Fane has some cool choices to match the specs of your amp, but they are just so expensive. For my old practice amp, I am considering an Eminence pro audio type of speaker.

I don't remember which model, but the recent Hiwatt cabs come with Fane speakers as an option.
