Sorry, I know this has been discussed here before. I can't find any on-point recent discussions, though, so thought I'd repeat the question.
I recently obtained an SSP Jerry 2X12 cab that I had built with Eminence neodynium Lil' Texas speakers, primarily because my back is suspect and I wanted to have a solid, clear tone while keeping the weight down. Well, now, 2 months later, the fact is I don't like the speakers for this application. They have a nice overall frequency response but could use a bit more low end and are breaking up some earlier than I'd hoped for.
Screw the weight issue, and focusing primarily on currently-made speakers (tired of chasing the expensive vintage stuff), what would you recommend?
Two options that come to my mind immediately are Weber neos (the JBL-voiced ones, though their web site has said for some time they can't build them now with paper cones and I'm concerned the aluminum ones will be too harsh on top) -or Weber Californias.
Like 'em? Suggest others? Thanks.
