Jensen C10Q Ceramic Vintage 8Ohm

The stock speaker in my Delta King 10 wasn't bad, but I wanted a more focused, clearer sound, reminiscent of old Fenders.

Replaced it with a Jensen C10R initially which I found too harsh in the highs and too mid focused. On top of that it farted out on the lows quickly, especially with tube overdrive. In fact, it sounded like an 8", a bit too Champy -- nothing wrong with that, but not the sound I was after.

The C10Q however fits the bill perfectly. Clear highs but not piercing. Well defined midrange, great with overdrive. And the lows stay well controlled even when pushed. Exactly the sound I was looking for. Now, the Delta King is perfect.

(Or, it would be if it had a tremolo, but that's beside the point ).

In conclusion, great option for that classic American sound -- more SIlverface than Tweed.

It's really a great speaker for the price: I had it mounted on a Laney VC15 and I bought another one to upgrade a Orange crush-35RT. It's a mid focused speaker, perfect to cut high pick of a strat/tele guitar in a blues rock set up. I used it also in a classic metal gig and It responded very well to full saturated distortion, really punchy without losing definition and tone (well the Laney VC valve circuit + a DS pedal made it really cracked the mix). I liked it in a open back combo as in a close back one (the Orange) but in a O.B. it gives you the most of performances in my opinion. Made In Italy, it appears sturdy and very well manufactured (it's not a china made and you see it at a fist look).
If you are looking for a Brith or brillant sound, this speaker is not for you, but if you like creamy rock/blues od/ds guitars, it will surely fit your stile...
