1) You can read your friend´s Speaker DC resistance with a multimeter.
It´s not exact but will provide a reference, so if you measure 3 to 4ohms, it´s 4; and if you measure 6 to 8 , it´s 8.
2) Don´t know why, but European made Jensens are expensive in Europe :loco , as expensive as Celestions (which have a famous name but are made in China) and more expensive than US Eminences.
In USA, Jensen and Eminence are much cheaper than equivalent Celestions. :loco
3) I like Jensens very much for their bright "American" sound (think Fender Twins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc.) and Celestions for their mid-bass sound (think Marshall, Metal, etc.).
They are both good and valid, depending on what you play.
Same to comparing Strats and Les Pauls, both classic killer guitars but very different between them.

Something very important, which will affect your cost a lot: if somebody sends you a spare speaker in its cardboard box through the Mail, will it go straight to your house, no extra expenses, or will it be stopped at Customs where you will pay a lot of tax?
Is Croatia part of the ECU or in the Euro Zone?
Quote from: J M Fahey on October 31, 2011, 08:23:14 AMYeah, I started calculations based on 5E3 CAB...
EDIT: the beauty of building an external cabinet for your high power 12" is that in the future you can add a 50/60W chipamp there, and you will then have a 15W (original) + 50/60W Marshall, good to play anywhere.

As a curiosity, post what your local Eminence distributor charges and for what model, just to compare.
*Maybe* it´s cheaper than ordering direct, don´t know.

If you connect a 4 ohm speaker to an SS 8 ohm amp, it won´t burst instantly into flames, but will work much hotter than normal, not good.
Probably no problem at home for a short time, but for a Saturday night show, full power, at a local bar .... may be fatal.
If you go the other way, (8 into 4) nobody will suffer, only you will lose some power.

Consider some Jensen MOD speakers: they can be ordered in 4/8/16 ohms , sound very good, and the price is excellent.
Search around.
