If you were to move away from Jensens, you might consider a Cannabis Rex? I've put them in a couple of Fender Amps and really liked them. Good power and no ice-pick top end. But of course, that's just me!

Cheers - Peter.

Arjay is right about the P12N being a better choice but he is referring more to vintage vs modern spec speakers as I was trying to point out also, though the statement applies as well to modern Jensen's.


Correct. The *original* P12N (and its companion C12N) were rated for 40 watts continuous. But when re-coned (and most of them are at this point) they usually receive uprated parts which extend the power-handling capability to 50 watts, which is now the "modern" P12N/C12N spec.

Regardless, "speaker breakup" is far less sonically-pleasing than being able to safely dime an amp and enjoy the pure overdrive and compression of the output stage pushing its hardest into a speaker load worthy of those watts.
