Hey all,
I have a pair of Weber alnico signature 10's that I hadn't been using much because I assumed they weren't powerful enough, and broke up too early.
I've been trying them in my Super Reverb lately, first along with two (new) Jensen C10Q's, now Kendrick Blackframe 10's, and I'm coming to the conclusion that they're pretty amazing value for money! (they're forty bucks apiece...)
They're not "modern" speakers, they don't have a flat frequency response and gigantic headroom, they're not a modern rock speaker like a Celestion, but I don't want that for classic Fender amp tone anyway.
I wouldn't recommend them for squeaky clean pedal steel or country tones either, not at high volume anyway, but for classic 4X10 Fender amp tone, clean and bright at lower volume, "blues" at higher volumes, they're pretty hard to beat IMO.
It remains to be seen whether the big output transformer of my Super Reverb, and the amount of bass my 17" hollowbody Guilds put out will kill them prematurely, but for now, the combination of the Kendrick blackframe 10's and the Weber signature speakers makes my Super sound sweeter than it ever has.
(I've tried Eminence Copperheads, Legend 105's, Celestion V10's, JBLD110F's, new Jensen C10R's, C10Q's, P10R's, P10Q's (yuk!!), Weber 10F125's, 10A125's, Cali 10's, and so far I like the Sig 10's best for my purposes - paired with the Kendricks, or even with the (way cheaper!) new Jensen C10Q's)
Long story short, even if I'm repeating myself ad nauseam : if you're on a budget, or just cheap, and you have a 4X10 Fender amp that needs speakers, put four of these Weber Alnico Sig 10S's in it, or two of them paired with the Ceramic magnet Jensens for a little more headroom and slightly tighter bass!!
