>Does anyone out there use 15″ speakers for guitar playing?

The old pre-65 Fender Pro combo amp used a 15″. I replaced the baffle
in my ’66 blackface Pro Reverb with one from Paul Lamb (via Mojo) that
holds a ’58 JBL D-130F. Very SRV sounding. The 15 is very clean and
efficient. The amp (with its stock tube rectifier) is clean until it
starts to distort, and then the tube grunginess/compression comes
through beautifully. Great low end. High end is beamy — get off axis
and it drops very quickly — but on-axis it’s just fine. No screechy
edge at all. The JBL’s aluminum dome also looks very cool through the
Fender grill cloth.
