10-inch speakers

Van Ertel · Post by **Van Ertel** » 27 Aug 2000 4:45 pm

I'm currently using a pair of Peavey 112E speakers, but I'd like to try a smaller speaker for my practice rig. Can anybody recommend a 10 or even an 8-inch speaker for steel guitar?

The "Musician's Friend" catalog lists 4 different speakers...3 Fenders, and 1 Celestion vintage.

Fender 10" standard......75 Watts.....$36
Fender 10" ceramic ......45 Watts.....$45
Fender 10" alnico blue...45 Watts.....$54
Celestion 10" vintage....60 Watts.....$70

Try Bill's Music, in Catonsville first, though. Any of these sould be fine for a practice amp.

Hey Van,

You're up near Padonia, right? I do like the folks at Bill's in Catonsville, but price check at the MARS or the Guitar Center up on Joppa Rd. first. Bill's usually prices out higher, but they'll match the other guys.

Cheers

How is Chuck Levin's, in Wheaton, on price? When I lived in Laurel that was the place to go for price on equipment.

Chuck's is great. They'll meet or beat any legitimate price. A bit more of a trek though if you're coming from north of Baltimore.

Van, do you think you'd be satisfied with the low end from an 8"?

Cheers

I use JBL's E110's. They crank! You can't kill them and they sound pretty damn good.

I like Celestion 10" speakers pretty well, but I really think you need at least a couple of them in a good cabinet to get any decent bass response.

I've got to dissent on the JBL 110 recommendation, though. I played through an old fender amp with a couple of these and I thought my head was going to come off (they are really, really bright).

Yeah Dan, they are bright (which I like) and connected to a Fender, I can see how they might be too bright.
I use them with my TubeFex/DPC750 combo as an
alternative to 112E's and they really work well.

I use a HARTKE 10" aluminum driver in a tiny bass cabinet.
(KickBack 10, w/120watt amp). Very good frequency response.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by db on 29 August 2000 at 03:14 PM.]</p></FONT>
