Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I like the Vintage 30's more than the "Greenbacks"

At least, for guitar use, to get that classic Bluesy tone.

As for the Re-issued Jensens (Made in Italy), I don't think they have the vintage "Made In Chicago" Jensen alnico tone. Maybe, the re-issued C12K get close to the original C12N's in the blackface Twin Reverb. Maybe...

In general, the bigger the magnet the better the power handling capacity. I'd prolly go for a Concert Series P12P (often labeled Bell & Howell). These give the best classic tone and were used in many hi-fi units, of its time.

Ever thought about chrome-doming a JBL woofer? Chrome peeking out of the grille is pretty retro-looking.
