Princeton (Silverface) Speaker Replacement talk

[thegreatbigsby]

Yes, absolutely. Great speaker.

If you're not loving the breakup, the thing that helped me the most was getting the voltages down like in the older ones, an idea my tech had. Sounds and feels way better now. That was actually the thing that made me love that amp again, I was thinking about letting it go. It breaks up a bit earlier now as well.
Also, Fender famously biases their amps pretty cold as to prolong tube life. If you can get the bias up to spec according to the 6V6s you use you'll hear a change for the better as well.

But the GA Eminence speakers are great. I think I reported on my findings in this thread before, but there seem to be a couple Princeton-themed threads right now and I get confused. It's absolutely the best speaker I had in there.

Edit: It was this thread. Page 1.

Been a while but I always put Weber 10F125 speakers in my fender princetons. Light dope, 30 watts for a little extra headroom. They sound great!

30 watts for a little extra headroom

if you want "headroom" you probably want to look at the sensitivity rating rather than watts.

Well it works for me whatever it is.

Cheers!

I believe it’s the style of cone. Both are great in a PR. I can confirm!

Yep I have the 10F150 but it doesn’t say “T”, idk what’s that designation? Do you?

There are a few designations - What’s in a name - tedweber.com

• 10[A/F]150 – no letter – punchy, warm, has a nice balance between low and high (low end is strong) and is a very general-purpose cone
• 10[A/F]150-O – “original” style smooth cone for early breakup and low detail
• 10[A/F]150P – “pup”, as in the same cone that is used on our Blue Pup. bright and chimey, mix of american and british sounds, though decidedly more british. high headroom.
• 10[A/F]150H – hemp cone, very soft material, darker, warmer, foggy and less focused. Hemp’s longer fibers give treble notes a sub-harmonic richness that warms the sound. great for that hazy stoner metal thing where articulation isn’t the objective. it cuts the treble, but it also affects the overall response and feel to be more squishy.
• 10[A/F]150T – accentuates treble and headroom. adds articulation. (this is the same cone as the standard 10A125)

Nice, thanks!
