[QUOTE="Julia, post: 53887, member: 1784"] I forgot to ask a critical question: How loud are you playing the amp? Since you mention "attenuator" I wonder about how much air you're moving? * Are you playing at gig volumes? * fairly loud * or do you have to play at maybe garbage disposal sound levels? * or at bedroom levels? All these will affect the tone. At bedroom levels I'd go with a speaker that has early breakup, but you've got to be careful about overpowering them if you decide to play loud. Low wattage speakers with early breakup are a great way to get some added warmth and tone at low volume levels. Basically if you've got a 100W amp you can get away with a 412 with four 25W rated speakers. Chances of pushing them to the point of blowing are pretty slim unless you're playing in a large club.
