I've odered a Delta-Memotron M15 Amp Custom option, but can't decide
which speaker I want fitted!
The guys building my amp, need to know my choice within a couple of
weeks.
They are all guitarists too, and have offered some suggestions.
But I need some second opinions.
They offer standard "Vintage" (Celestion Blue) or "Lite"
(Celestion Neo) Amps. The "Lite" only weighs 15.5Kg.
I need a lightweight amp but I've heard that the Neo speakers are a bit
harsh at the top-end.
Anyone know a good vintage sounding 12" speaker that doesn't weigh a ton?

My personal favorite is, believe it or not, the rocket 80 celestion. Made in China, but it totally nails the old classic g12 sound.

Hi, I'm brand new to the forum. I saw your post and thought that I would suggest a Jensen Neo. I have two amps that use them. One has a 10" and the other has a 12". These speakers are very good once they are broken in, however, can sound a little harsh at first. The 10" speaker took more time than the 12" to break in. I'm not sure if it was due to cone size, wattage, or a combination. The amp with the 10" speaker is a 15 watt amp and is just 21 lbs. and the other is a 60 watt amp which is around 31 lbs. Both are tube amps.

If you can find a Neo that is broken in, take a listen and see if it fits what you are looking for.
