I recently recapped an old Fender Princeton Reverb Silverface and it has become my main gigging amp for harp and lap steel. It sounds great with the 10" Eminence Ragin Cajun but, at age 68, even a modest 35lbs. amp gets to be a bit much going up a flight of stairs with a bunch of gear. Looking to shave a couple pounds by trying a 10" neo speaker. Anybody have any advice on brands to try or stay away from?
The amp is a '79 model and Fender had switched from solid pine to the heavier particle board so I'm also tempted to try an aftermarket pine cabinet but I have a hard time justifying $300 when the current cabinet works/looks fine.
Edit: Neo refers to the lighter neodymium magnets used in some light weight speakers. I'm sure you knew that but just in case my post wasn't clear. :-)
