Members delayed delay Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm pretty unfamiliar with which speakers to pair with a Bandmaster, and I'm thinking I want a 2x12 cab to go with the BM... So which speakers would you peeps recommend? Maybe Jensens of some sort? Hoping to not have to spend a whole lot, but I'm open to suggestions...The Bandmaster is only 4 ohms speaker out... Just for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members delayed delay Posted January 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Found a pretty good deal on 2 Jensen C12K's (8 ohms each)... Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mlabbee Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I run mine with a 2x10 with Celestion Golds. It sounds amazing (warning - if you get the Golds, they take a while to break in. Worth the wait!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider an open back 2x10, though - I think it really complements the amp well. Very punchy and surprisingly good bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few years now, and the Jensen RI is still in there. I was frankly a bit surprised by it - especially in light of the fact that I had read some rather unkind reviews of the reissues. The reviews are correct in that the RI is not a clone of the old ones, but they still sound pretty good IMO. Efficiency is in the 95-96dB @ 1W / 1m range, which is decent, but not spectacular, so if you're looking for "LOUD", you may want to look elsewhere and try to get something in the 101-103dB @ 1W / 1m range.

I'm not too worried about "loud"... Just a pair of speakers that sound great and compliment the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evets618 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The C12K is very crisp and clean, as it's 100 watts, 99.1 dB. Lotsa bottom end, too. So I wouldn't expect any speaker breakup from a 40 watt amp, but you should be able to crank that Bandmaster without killing a speaker. The 50 watters (C12N?) might be more forgiving, and probably closer to what Fender put in originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
