I did a search, so hopefully I'm not repeating something, but I find the stock speaker in the ss 22 is not the best. It doesn't sound great a higher volumes and can get farty. Has anyone come up with the ultimate speaker swap? I'm thinking Celestion V30, just because they've done well in other amps I've had, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm also considering tube upgrade to EH or JJ's at some point, but I think the speaker should be first. Thanks.

Something from Eminence may be an improvement -- say, a Texas Heat or the Red White & Blues.

The Eminence speakers suggested by Retroverbial would be a big improvement. I went with an Eminence GA SC64 and really like it. It has a slightly warmer tone of a well played, well maintained vintage amp.

Interesting suggestions, thank you. Isn't the speaker that's in it some sort of eminence with a fender label slapped on it?

OEM amp speakers are usually not part of a speaker company's regular line of retail products -- they're built to the customer's (ie: the amp manufacturer's) specs and invariably that includes a do-not-exceed price point. Thus the OEM "factory" speaker is hamstrung right from the start.

Yeah, makes sense. Guess that's why everyone changes them. Speakers and motorcycle seats!
