You are welcome. It is more difficult to find a single speaker for a combo that can handle the full power and yet be satisfying to your tastes. I have tried one ALNICO, sounded awesome during break-in. Now it sounds similar to the MC90 in brightness. Only good thing, no flub with added bass. I prefer the 200W or above ceramic magnet, oversized heavy speaker. Size of the magnet does not matter, I would take a neodymium driver if it performed well. Issue with neo, it does not easily let go of its magnetism momentarily like ALNICO, Ceramic will do this too, but not as dramatic. ( I may be dead wrong about that but, that is how I was misinformed). I prefer the old school rule, load should be able to handle at least twice the maximum output power. Many may disagree, please do. I would prefer to get my break-up (distortion) created by the preamp and power tubes than the speaker.

[QUOTE="bandit2013, post: 454248, member: 36239"] You are welcome. It is more difficult to find a single speaker for a combo that can handle the full power and yet be satisfying to your tastes.
