Anyone put a Weber 15" in a Peavey Session 400?

[John Kolodij]

Thinking of replacing the Black Widow with something a bit bigger sounding, and capable of more low end

seems like a good choice-I push a lot of low end through this so I need it to handle that well-other speaker suggestions welcome, as long as they fit that bill

Thanks for any insight

JBL, plenty more wail per watt and clear, extnded response at the same time. Just sayin'....

Like Dave said. I have a Peavey JBL in my Session 400. It sounds great with my MCI and LDG.

JBL All The Way. Sonny.

Gerry Walker (creator of Stereo Steel) and I did a very thorough comparison at his shop a few months back of my Mullen D-12 played through various amps and preamps going into 3 matched pairs of 15-inch speakers: his reconed JBL's (rated at 250w); Weber neos (rated at 75w, but Gerry has blasted through them at gigs with no problem at all); and Eminence neo's.

To our ears, the beautiful tone of the JBL's was exactly matched by the Webers. Bonus: they're about half the weight of JBL's.

Eminence were just a tiny bit louder, and had more high end, bordering on shrill. Could easily be tamed by EQ no doubt, but when all 3 brands were played with the exact same preamp settings, the Eminence just wasn't as sweet sounding as the other 2 brands.

All 3 were excellent and would all sound good, with the right EQ, with pedal steel.

John-thanks for the reply-

any chance you or anyone has tried the weber Cali 15" (replaces JBL D130) or Michigan 15"?

I have a pair of Michigans in a Pro Reverb that can handle just about anything

i should mention I also play guitar out of this amp at gigs-I run stereo with a Victoria Regal II

Weber has "Cowboy" Ed Long pictured on their site promoting their speaker, but won't tell us what speaker he likes!
With the shiney dome, I suspect a Cali, maybe ask them.

On the Michigan15": i can't speak to how it sounds in a session400, but i like the way it sounds in my nv400, better than a BW 1501-4 to my taste.

Thanks Dan.
