I tried several speakers with my vintage Fender Deluxe non-Reverb amp. Weber, Fat Jimmy, and Eminence all worked well, but the goldilocks speaker was the M12C. As good as it sounds, it also feels good under the fingers, which is just as important. It responds very well to adjustments in guitar volume and tone, which players don't think about until they experience it. It has just the right volume as well, don't let the lower sensitivity fool you into thinking it's home use only.
I have a Jupiter 12LC in my '74 Fender Musicmaster Bass amp.
Just 12 watts but the tone is fabulous. I could not be happier.
Bought a pair of the M12c speakers to replace the original speakers in a 70's SF Pro Reverb. I couldn't be happier w/ the purchase. Great full, warm, clean sound I was after, no harsh breakup I was experiencing w/ the stock Fender's . The Amp was recently serviced and between that and the speakers completely turned the amp around. Classic Fender Jensen sound !
Great sounding speaker! I installed it in my VHT Special 6 Ultra and started dialing in my tone. I have to say that I am very happy with the result!
12" seamed ribbed cone with a large ceramic magnet, the replacement for C12N.
Similar to the 12LC but with less output and a smoother yet balanced sound that retains headroom. Some nice compression is evident compared to the 12LC but not at the expense of headroom. Originally intended for studio or home use, many musicians claim it to be the closest to the original C12N from 4 and 5 decades ago.
