Lightnin MN, congrats of the beautiful amp. :D

How would you compare the old Oxford with the new Jensen (tone vise)? :?:

Well, can't really tell yet because there's a noise issue and the Jensen is so much more efficient than the Oxford that it hisses like crazy, intolerably so in fact. The less efficient Oxford doesn't pick the 'noise' up at all.



I'm not very technical myself, but this doesn't make sense ..

Cheers :D


Actually, it does.

In loose terms, the more efficient the speaker, the greater it's sensitivity - it takes less energy (signal) for the speaker to 'hear' it and reproduce it. In this case, it becomes more important to reduce/eliminate and unwanted 'noise' produced by the amp itself and not the guitar pickups.

In this case, the noise (unwanted signal) is easily picked up by the more efficient Jensen while the less efficient Oxford doesn't pick it up.

The Oxford doesn't 'hear' or reproduce this noise, so it's quieter.

But, the same holds true of wanted or desired signal. The Jensen will reproduce a much fuller sound and have a greater frequency range than the less efficient Oxford.

The difference is noticable and so the Jensen is generally accepted as the 'better' speaker.

cheers!
