WTB: Speakers, speakers, and more speakers!!

TheSeeker · May 23, 2014, 07:09:47 PM

Hey guys, I'm just looking to buy some 12" 8ohm speakers. I don't have anything particular in mind....I just want to play mix and match and see what kind of sounds I can get. I have 2 Weber Thames right now that are supposed to be like Fanes. So if anybody has any speakers that they want to unload for a decent price, lemme know whatcha got!!!

I have a Celestion CL80. 80 watts, H-size magnet, 12", 8ohm.

The least I would sell the CL80 for is $60. I don't think it will cost me more than $20 shipping.
How does $80 sound?

PS - just by chance I saw an 8ohm 50w Ceramic Weber Blue Dog on eBay. Its and auction and will end up costing more than the CL80, but its also a great speaker. They are a bit quieter (less efficient) than a Celestion unless Weber added a neodymium booster magnet (its rare that customers know they can order a speaker with a booster magnet, so its unlikely).

Probably the cheapest Alnico speaker you can find is an Eminence Red Fang. Its a Celestion Gold clone, but has a slightly more modern voicing.

Also consider V30's or Hellatone 60's (same speaker).

I've already got the Blue Dog on my watch list..haha. Thanks for looking out though! If I don't score it, I'll let you know when I got some extra cash in couple of weeks and take that speaker off your hands.

I tried a blue dog/silver bell combo with a clean fender and loved the sound, but did not try the combo with OD.
