What is a good substitute for the Italian made JENSEN C12N. I like the tightness and brilliance of the C12N in a FENDER amp... to a point. If I have the gain fairly high (volume low) on my amp I get that notorious shrill, high end spike that creates frequent complaints. When I back off on the gain, and "push" the volume, that high end spike diminishes.

So... what is the general consensus for a good C12N substitute?


~Thanks

Weber 12F150 or 12A150 if ya want Alnico

weber makes a few more possibilities, you absolutely won't find a better speaker !

Next best ???? The many offerings from Eminence, swamp thang, Red White & Blues etc....

I like the Eminence "Texas Heat" in my amps, it delivers plenty of Fendery twang and brilliance, no ice pick and a nice fat, solid bass with no flubber when cranked. US made and a good price too. 8)
