Guitar amp speakers, Who has got an opinion on the best?

I would like to know which guitar amp speakers are capable of the best, most powerful sound out on the market today? Both 10", and 12"

I think that is a little hard to say. Different speakers sound different to different people. I have a 4x12 cab loaded with 500 watt Pyle Drivers. I think it sounds awesome playing metal. But a friend of mine prefers Celestions for the same type music. Although I think both sounds good, he hates the way mine sound. I think you need to get out there and play through some different amps/cabs. and see what you think.

Its the same with home stereo speakers. If you have only heard the little Bose satellites you will think they sound awesome. Until you go out and listen to say....some Definitive Technologies BP3000's. Then you will see the difference.

just my .02 worth......

Don't know about the "best" speakers, but for my amp I have two 1x12 cabs, one is fitted with a Celestion Vintage 30, the other with an EVM-12L (or something like that, made before Zakk Wylde decided to endorse it (lol)). I like the combination.

Interesting,

My Peavey stack comes stock with Sheffields, but my Fender half stacks 4 x 10 speakers dont say on the back what brand they are. I can tell there original, but its a vintage amp, and there old, so I am thinking about replacing them with some real hot rods that can handle high volume distortion, and thicker bass when needed. Im not up to speed on which replacement speakers are the hottest on the market now days for delivering real high quality sound at high volume levels, but thats what im looking for, some real durable earth shakers in a 10 inch, with an amp thats 175 watts

I'd go with Eminence for a replacement speaker (and have). I like them because they have such a wide variety of speakers, and are very reliable, and their customer service is top notch. Celestions are good, but are way way over priced and overrated. There's no such thing as a "be all, end all" speaker. Everybody's tone tastes are different, and people hear things different than each other. So, what works for one person, won't work for everyone.

I remember back in the day when I was in highschool Pioneer made a car stereo speaker that had the best sound, I mean it blew them all away in a
6 x 9 configuration. It was called the " Pioneer 6907 "
Thats what I was wondering, if there was a guitar amp speaker out there that was above, and beyond the rest.

+1

They have a speaker for about any kind of sound that you could ever want. Go check out their website. They make speakers in almost any size for amps... I have a Commonwealth 12 in my Blues Deluxe and it makes it sound amazing even compared to the original
