Another Speaker question: Jensen P12Q Alnicos (re-issue)

rio452001 - 03 Oct 2003 17:50:18

I had asked earlier about C12N and C12K for use with a '66 BF Band
Master head & cabinet. Thanks to Jerry and others who responded.
Another speaker that's been suggested for my BM is a pair of Jensen
re-issue P12Qs Alnicos.
How are they likely to be for a "surf" sound? I'm going to want a
fairly clean sound, but not totally clean-- I won't mind a bit of
break-up when the amp is pushed.
I've got a bit of concern they might be too "creamy" or distorted (I
usually play between 6.5 and 8 on my Bandmaster).
I'll probably get a chance to hear them before I buy them, but does
anybody have any experience with those speakers?
Shoud I stick with ceramics? And if so, do I go with the C12N, or
should I consider the C12Q?
As always, I really appreciate the comments of forum members. I will
add that one of the real pluses of this forum, compared to some
others, is the generally positive and civil tone of the discussion.
It's real refreshing.

See this post in context.
