Which Speakers should I get???

Re: Which Speakers should I get???

i thought the greenback was 97db? maybe the new chinese ones are more efficient?

ted makes better speakers than the new jensens. they new ones arent bad but they arent as nice as the old jensens or teds stuff.

most 50's fender amps used alnico speakers, in the 60's most 12" were ceramic but with 10" there was still some CTS alnico being used, especially in super reverbs. the best sounding bf supers ive heard, not counting derek trucks who has pile drivers, had alnico speakers.

the mix of alnico and ceramic can be very cool

You hit the nail on the head Jeremy. The MIC ones are 1dB more efficient than the MIE ones. The old Jensens were very inefficient too.

Woah, Luke, thanks for that!

No problem man!

Ted Weber is a walking speaker encyclopedia I've decided.

You're like me Joe and want to understand how things work and where numbers come from. I knew if it made sense to me it had to make sense to everyone else!

Not to hijack, but how can you tell a speaker's efficiency? Someone before said that a greenback would be overpowered by the G12H30... but the sensitivity on Celestions site says 98dB for the GB and 100dB for the H30... Just curious because I'm looking into speakers and wanted 2 greenbacks and 2 classic lead 80s, but I want to make sure the greenbacks wont be overpowered.

Well the V30 is more efficient than the greenback, and Im pretty sure the G12h30 is a little more powerfull than the greenback.

the v30 and g12h are both rated at 100db by celestion, at least the english versions, which is partly why they mix so well and throw alot of volume
