So Far... So, So, So good

I build a tiny lineup of solid pine cabinets 1x12, 2x12 and 1x15 cabs.
I'm at the tail end of prototyping, and preparing for initial production.
I'm planing to ship unloaded, but needed something to load the demo prototypes.
I have known of Jupiter for a while, and always planned to try them out"next chance I get." Finally I had the perfect situation to use them and decided all three cabs will be demoed with Jupiter speakers.
Initially, I had planned to use an assortment, but after loading a 12LC in my 1x12 cab and playing through it, the 2z12 was a no brainer, and later I got a 15LC for my 1x15. They were that good for me out of the box, stiff, shouty, and "unstable" feeling for the first hour or so of moderate to high moderate volume/50watt amp.

In my experience with these, after that initial hour, the highs begin to sweeten and "width." I don't know how to describe it. The driver starts to open up, and everything starts to settle down and really sound good. Definitely hear "Early Jensen" , but somehow it feels more refined and "complete. Really a fun speaker in 1x configuration for sure. All signs point to yummy with the 2x as well. Really just solid, really good sounding speakers especially in pine.

Found it!

Used the Jupiter to replace the Cannabis Rex that’ came stock with my Fender PRRI. Reviews I read directed me to this speaker to clean up /accentuate the high end sparkle and balance mids/lows.
The Jupiter didn’t disappoint and the search for the tone I’m chasing is over — very happy with the sound and service from Jupiter

Great for a boxy small cab

I was recommended this speaker on the FB Two Rock forum. It was recommended for using with a Studio Signature and a smaller cab I had. Sweet highs and nice lows. Fixed the boxy cab right up. When it gets broken in it will even be sweeter.

Replaced a Neo Cream Back with a 12-LC

Much improved tone from my '68 Pro Reverb "reissue" (single channel, one 12"). Has not been battle tested yet, but I expect this weekend to sound much better than last weekend.

12LC 50w Ceramic

I've been using these speakers in my Grande Range for a few years now. The best guitar speaker on the market. The tone , frequency range, clarity and note definition I get from them is second to none , the perfect speaker for vintage tones.
