Craig-

In your estimation, what is the break-up point on that speaker relative to a Celestion Vintage 10"? I have a Dr. Z 2x10 (18 watts, much of which I bleed off with a Dr. Z Power Brake attenuator) and have toyed with the idea of mismatching one of its Celestions with a different speaker, but never knew quite where to start. I believe the Celestions are 60 watters. Any thoughts?

i don't have any celestions to compare to but i thought most of them (celestions) break up sooner than other speaker brands. supposedly the alnicos have a smoother top end and compress more when pushed so they don't come off as harsh as some ceramics. hope that helps. c

here is the quote from the weber page

Replacement for Vox and Marshall AlNiCo 10's

10", 11oz AlNiCo plug magnet, 20 or 30 watts, 1-1/4" voice coil, ribbed cone.

Bright, chimey, later/smooth breakup, aggressive, articulate, compressed at high volume.

Thanks Teefus. I probably need something less efficient that will break up sooner than the Celestions to get what I'm after...they are too dang loud and clean for my tastes, even attenuated. I suppose I could disconnect one of the Celestions (wired in parallel) and run the other from the 16 ohm jack to get a flavor for how less-efficient speakers would sound?
