Vibroverb 10" Speaker Suggestions?

Black_Bee_Tunes Joined: Feb 24, 2022 Posts: 8	Posted on May 20 2022 12:02 PM Getting the parts together for a Brownface Vibroverb (6g16) build and am trying to pick a pair of 10" speakers. I'm looking for something that is tight and snappy retaining a clear bass. prefer Alnico, but am open to suggestions. Thanks. Top

They have several models of varying wattages, so it might depend on how much cone cry or clean headroom you want. I heard these speakers in a diy 2x10 combo with a blackface bandmaster. I was impressed enough to feel the need to look at the speakers. Really fender-y, in a good way Top

THAT said. Jonny from Jonny and the Shamen had a 90s vibroverb reissue and got a lovely drippy live surf sound with that amp. I’m not sure what those speakers were.

I use to have a Warehouse ET-65 and Veteran 30 in a 2x12 with a Hiwatt style head, I never really warmed up to that rig, very dry and stiff. Then again I'm not a fan of Vintage 30's. How do the Jensen compare to the Webers? Top

The C1025 is lighter, less wattage handling. The C1060 heavier. Took and chance and ordered both for a light, 2x10 open backed pine cab. Right out of the box they sounded so good. Clear, warm and punchy. Great speakers! Top
