Lots of people improve their amps by swapping the "factory" one for one of the "famous/expensive" ones, say they pull the "black painted" "house label" speaker from, say, a Peavey or Fender or Crate amp (all USA made of course) and put an expensive (and doubtlessly good sounding) Celestion V30 or G12H or Creamback there.
They have no use for the old black nameless speaker so they junk it, or offer it on Craigslist for $20 (and even so they don´t sell) or a garage sale for $5/$10 tops.
Guess what? if the amp was USA made (any one through the 90´s and Peavey up to 2000 or so) then it´s 90/95% possible that speaker was made by Eminence, and wholly comparable to any Legend series.
In fact I think Legends are basically a selection of their most popular OEM offerings, think the generic speaker inside a Fender or Peavey, just labelled and put inside a printed box (instead of an OEM brown or white generic box) so it can be sold to the general public.
They will work very well in your amp, and for a very low cost.
