12 speakers compared 8 alnico's & 2 ceramics jensen vs blue

Post by The Flying Dutchman »

For the tone nutz here, this is a new one and includes 8 different 'alnico' speakers as well as some well known 'ceramic' speakers:

After listening a couple times I think I like the "Alnico Blue" best!
But only 15 watts....

I'll check this out when i get time, there is hardly any good material on speakers. Usualy the only thing you read is the sales blurb.

Of course you can't totally rely on this clip to decide what speakers to buy.
We still hear speakers that are miked..., some speakers are great to mike but not that great when standing in front of them. How would they sound if you put 4 of those in a 4x12 cab standing 3 meters in front? How loud are the speakers played? Some speakers need to move more air than others before sounding good..... etc..
So this clip must be taken with a little grain of salt I guess, still nice to have a rough idea. :)
