I readed the excelent job at the Loudspeakers and Loudness thread of Teemuk and J M Fahey ! :tu:
I have a couple of doubt and question about the stuff.
I here in the south, wich are the best chances that have if i looking for decent speaker for any SS amp?
I researching where is the garbage site in Villa La Angostura, to look for some junk usefull, as suggested JM , looking for old car or radio speakers for equipe my version of ruby.
I had been in a little electronic store here, and the attendant showme the "A" speaker and the "B" and thats all that they have! I requested about the frecuency response, but.... ???
Ok, no good stores at the hand, so, second try, google...
I downloaded the Jahro catalog at http://jahro.com.ar/catalogo2009.pdf (http://jahro.com.ar/catalogo2009.pdf) and see a couple of that maybe are useable for guitar amp, but how about the curves? If i call for it to them? Not breakballs for them to give that info for a couple of models? The same about www.xonox.com.ar. If i contact them?
And a last question....
If you have a ready to work power amp, lets say a TDA7294 o LM3886 based amp, for example, whats best for it? Imagine that you´ll do a combo, and the options for speakers are:
A - 2 x 12"
B - 4 x 10"
B - 4 x 8"
Wich are best for? ???
It all depends on what you like for sound. I personally am fond of smaller speakers myself. My ideal setup would be a 4x8" and 2x10" stack.
Check musiciansfriend.com for speakers if you want to get them online.
