Jensen speakers? Or possibly others...

AT, Remind me what amp this speaker is to go in again?

Also AT, do you have any good music stores near you that have various amps with various speaker options in them that you might be able to test listen to see for yourself with your guitar etc?

The little Sub Zero Tube 20r. It's pretty similar to a Blues Jr.

Yeah, there are a few but unless they were different speakers in identical amps, a test like that wouldn't really tell me anything I'm afraid.

What sound are you shooting for? AT

Does that Celestian Blue look like it might fit?

No, the Celestion blue is both too deep and under powered. It's a great speaker though, I have the Gold in another cab and this little amp sounds great through it.

I want to take off a bit of the harsh top and tighten up the bass. Compared to the Celestion Gold, the Sevemty 80 sounds harsh and loose. When I use the Gold I can feelnthe amp in my chest, even at low volumes.

Gotcha AT, It is hard to suggest when I am only armed with partial info.

So what is the type music you will play through this Sub Zero Tube 20R?
 
While I can't speak about the neo, I have had a few of the Italian C12N 's. It has been a while but I wasn't fond of them. I prefer a bit more of a Brit speaker than a Murican voicing, but that's just me. I also found the Jensen to sound better at lower volume than at " gig" levels, again just me.
In open back amps I have a couple C-rex speakers and a Celestion V Type that I really like, but there are many good speakers out there.
Good luck.

Beagle, My Apologies, I saw that initial Sheffield post and completely missed seeing this one.

You were right, Bandit was mentioned.

Spit not wasted.

The Gold is in which amp/cab, and It is a 1x12 right? How much play time is on the Gold? Any chance the 70/80 needs breaking in and might change some?

It'll be mostly rock/blues stuff. The amp really shines when played clean and I can just barely make it break up using a strat.

Also, while researching the Jensens, I am seeing some are Alnico, Ceramic and Neo. Your initial questions appeared to be the latter 2.

No interest in a P12N Alnico?

Yeah, the Neo's seem to be the shallowest. I think I looked at the P12N and concluded it was too deep. Otjerwise I'd be interested.

Hard to tell how much time is on the gold... The Sub Zero amp was used though and is a few years old so it should be broken in.

The Gold is in what used to be a Fender Ramparte amp. It suffered from really bad tube rattle though and nothing I did seemed to fix it. The cabinet looks really cool so I removed the amp and use it as a cab now.
