Trying to find benefits and differences between a 10” Fender Eminence ceramic bass speaker, against a 10” Fender Special Design bass speaker. How are these at really low volumes (most seem to ask about really high volume)?

Ultimately wondering about the sound/quality difference between the Rumble Studio 40 (1 special design speaker) and Stage 800 (2 ceramic speakers). Any audio comparisons somewhere online, or other specifications? Google is bringing up too general of a result.

Most all of my playing now is with headphones at night while the family sleeps, or at Vol 1. So the 40 watt option at “bedroom levels” seems good, but thinking this could also replace my old BXR head/cab for loud band practice and the 800 watt would be required. How’s the Rumble Stage 800 at bedroom levels? Are the ceramic speakers better?

Fascinating post, VM77Dave! I've only auditioned the Studio 40 one time for about an hour. I really liked it a lot. I don't have an accurate A/B comparison between the different drivers to elucidate upon. Having 8 years of Fender Rumble experience to draw from, I'd say the new Studio and Stage drivers are superb in every respect, and you need not concern yourself as to their quality standards. Rest assured the standard is both high and professional.

One simply does not buy an 800 watt amp (400 watts as a stand alone combo) for 'bedroom' usage. That is what the Studio 40 is for. It sounds like you need to buy one of each. One for personal practice, and one for concert performance. This is what I intend to do this summer.
