0C3 Guitar Amp Controlled Smooth Sag

I changed my mind on the speaker.  I had initially decided on a Celestion Type A, which Celestion bills as their "American Voiced" model and I do love Celestions but I decided that Jensen was the original that created much of the American Voice and that jensen was bought out/moved to an Italian firm only improves on that in my mind... or at least I hoped so since I ordered a Jensen C12N.

It arrived today and I am even more stoked.  If it sounds half as good as it looks and I'm talking about heft and precision not mere pretties, it's gonna be the perfect choice.  It's very beefy for a mere 50 watter and I am particularly impressed with the gauge of the steel frame.

Here's a photo....



I can't wait to hear it!

Just a friendly word of advice: give that speaker a long break in period before judging it.  I'm a Jensen dealer and I've had rather mixed experiences with RI Jensen speakers---some I think are great (C12Q, C10Q)and others (their P10R) fall far short of the sound of the old Jensen speakers had.  Some is due to the fact they are new stiff but they also sound really different from an expertly re-coned vintage Jensen.  The C12N is one of the better RI speakers but it takes long time to smooth out and sound less constricted than it does out the box.
