| What speakers are you guys using for your MB200? Are any of you using 2 8 ohm 12 or 15's? |

Allen is my Jensen as good as the Blue marvel? Like most players I'm always fussing with my sound.

| The "Blue Marvel" is a Peavey custom Eminence speaker that is used in the Nashville 112. |

James,
I'm sure your Jensen is a good speaker and comparable to the Blue Marvel. I have not taken the opportunity of comparing them side-by-side, however. I have Jensens in my 65 Reissue Twin Reverb. They sound good to me.
The Blue Marvel took about a month to break in. At first it sounded kind of stiff. As time went on, it started to sound real smooth. I am happy with it. I am sure a high-end speaker would sound better, but you can't beat the Blue Marvel for the price (+/- $70.00 new).
Jack, thanks for chiming in. I was not aware the Blue Marvel was an Eminence product.

| My Jensen sounds real good. It was over a $100.00. It took a while to break in. Can you get Blue Marvel in 8 ohms? I was thinking of 2 12inch cabinets. That way I could stretch them out on a big stage.Is this idea any good? |

The Peavey Blue Marvel 12" speaker used in the Nashville 112 is only available in one impedance. It is a custom model only used in the Nashville 112.
Everybody hears things differently or likes a specific brand of speaker. Many have changed the stock Blue Marvel speaker in the Nashville 112 for an Eminence EPS-12C. I tried it and didn't like it and took it out and put the Blue Marvel back in (and sold the Eminence). |

James,
Yes, you can buy an 8 ohm Blue Marvel. Full Compass Audio (fullcompass.com) sells them for $79.99 (List price $99.99). Looks like the price has increased since I bought mine a year ago.
You may be able to find a used one for less. Try posting in the "Want To Buy" section of the Forum.

Jack,
Mine may not be a "Peavey" Blue Marvel. I'll have to look when I get home from work. I am not sure it says Peavey.
The Full Compass site advertises their 8 ohm speakers as the "Peavey Blue Marvel".

I just looked at the Peavey site. They list about 6 different Blue Marvel speakers.
The listing for the Nashville 112 does not list what part number speaker is used.
Only "12 inch Blue Marvel® speaker (specially voiced for steel)" |
