Any suggestions for a 15 inch, 4 ohm speaker (Fender Custom Vibrasonic, if you wanted to know)...?

Got the amp for not very much off RichTone a few months back. Sounds good, but the Eminence Big Ben is 8 ohm and it's a bit British-sounding for that amp. It really should be 4 ohms. 

I've been looking for suitable speakers for it for a while and coming up with not many ideas, so I thought I'd try the brains trust on here for any ideas that I haven't thought of. 

So far in the running are:
A Jensen C15K
Eminence Travis Toy (for Pedal Steel) but these don't seem to be available anywhere.

And not much else. 

Thoughts?

    You could try the Eminence Legend CA154 - it's intended for bass, but in an open-back cabinet it should sound fine for guitar - it's got a fairly small magnet for a bass speaker so it shouldn't be overpoweringly bassy.

    I'd probably just go for the Jensen though.

    I've noticed that Eminence as well - I did wonder if the relatively limited treble response might be a problem, but I did have some 18" Vox cabs ages ago that didn't lack treble, so who knows?

    Interestingly, Jensen don't list the C15K in 4 ohm, but Hot Rox seems to have one. Is this a legacy product?

    Last one for now: anyone in the UK had any experience ordering from Weber (in the USA)? There are a couple of likely options there, but they're not cheap(er than the alternatives), would be more risky with international shipping and tax, and if it's not right, it's that much longer to wait and unlikely to go for much used.
