One speaker to rule them all?

Jensen mod series does  great fender cleans and crunches up nicely. Affordable  too!

Fane something-or-other?  The current Ascension line get a lot of good write-ups.  I've got an A90 alnico in a cab, and it's lovely...equally at home with my Vox and Fender-style amps.

I have the A60 and it's the best higher power Blue-a-like I've ever heard.  Wonderful speakers, not sure how it'd cope with hard rock (only because I don't play it) but it does classic rock levels of gain wonderfully.

Is it weird that I use a Celestian Gold for all of that? I like it lol though it is bright.

Fane have 20% off at the moment if you’re considering one.

I'm getting good cleans out of both, and whatever Celestion that's fitted to the HRD IV is pretty good for all that too. 

It's an A-Type.

I don't have an extensive knowledge of speakers, but I like the sound of my HRD IV with its Celestion A Type speaker.

I previously had an HRD III which I tried with the stock speaker (not to my taste), a Celestion Vintage 30 (cut well but too "in yer face"/harsh for that amp) and a Celestion V-Type (my overall favourite in the HRD III). But I prefer the sound of the HRD IV, which I expect is down to a combination of the amp and its A-Type speaker.

Forgive my ignorance, but what’s an A-type when it’s at home? Alnico maybe?

No, it's a ceramic-magnet type designed to give more 'American' tone than the typical Celestion voicing - cleaner and more scooped in the mids.

Just spotted that Lean Business have a deal on the F90 for £75 this month, too.

Cannabis Rex is neither particularly British or American voiced (perhaps a little more the latter). Many describe it as dark but I think if it as exceptionally even and easy to EQ. Very versatile in my experience. 

Yep. Agreed.

The only speaker that I can think of that people rate in some positive way in all your applications is the EVM12.

Im not a fan though, jack of all ttades but master.of none IMHO. Plus, they're crazy money.

There's one of these 5 minutes up the road from me for £10.

Go and buy it. Even if it’s knackered and needs re-coning it’s worth a lot more than that.

celestion redback is a great sounding speaker, i put one in a victory v10 to replace a knackered wgs speaker. it sounded lovely and can take pretty much all the power you can throw at it.
