I bought a 4x10 Maverick combo on Reverb a couple of years ago, with the original Jensen P10R speakers.
When I got it, the amp had some cone cry in one of the speakers.
Because I live in a remote area, and because these are hard to come by, I asked the seller to refund enough of the purchase price to get a new Jensen speaker.
I put the amp in the corner and sort of forgot about it till this week. I had to travel a lot for work over the last 2 years and just haven't had any guitar time for a while.
I started troubleshooting the amp yesterday and discovered that all 4 of the speakers have cone cry!
I can't even play the amp at bedroom levels without the scratchy overtones that the speakers are making.
I know that I can reform the coils and get rid of this problem for now, but I also know that it will come back.
With this in mind, I am thinking about replacing all 4 speakers.
This amp will be used for slide and bluesy rock at medium to low volumes. I also want pristine cleans at any volume.
I have a Rivera M60 2x10 combo with Celestion Greenback/Creamback combo and it is really great for that amp.
I'm thinking I want the same creamy tone that this combo gives me, but with a little more sparkle for the cleans.
Have any of you guys/girls replaced the speakers in a Maverick 4x10?
I really like the tone of the Jensens, but I don't trust wimpy alnico speakers very much. Way too easy to damage them.
