I got two Jupiter speakers on a trade but since then I am using them in vintage amps!
What an upgrade for your old fender speaker! The tone is amazing with the perfect balance of breakup.
Turned my HotRod Deluxe ext cab into an extra 1x12 for my 66 Blackface head. Swapped out the stock Celestian with the 12LC....HUGE improvement and step towards acheiving my target sound. The Jupiter looks and sounds truly amazing.
I have FAR too many speakers and largely they sit unused. I have three available cabs and loaded the Jupiter and my two other favorites and A/B'd them. I did not elect to pay extra for break-in on the Jupiter, but nevertheless, right out of the box, the Jupiter won. Now, what am I going to do with all these other speakers?
I built a Deluxe Reverb Head in 2024 based on the AB763 circuit from scratch. It worked and sounds great! This year I am building a Princeton Reverb based on the 11AA64 circuit. I custom built both cabinets with Mahogany. I fabricated the Princeton for a 12" speaker. I usually use Eminence and was considering the George Alessandro or the Josh Smith 50. Then came upon the Jupiter LC50. I had seen them before but had forgot about them. After reading the stellar reviews decided to go for it and made the Jupiter purchase. I am glade I did! I installed it in the Princeton Cab and Ran it with the Deluxe. WOW!!! The sound is just beautiful! Every note detailed and articulate and such clarity yet no ice picks. Not even broke in and just seems to sing and chime with it's own Kadence and yet warm and punchy no mud! This is no doubt an awesome speaker! You might consider the Alico over the Ceramic? Check on you tube Jupiter speaker Alico and Ceramic shoot out to get a better idea of the sound difference. I just went Ceramic. Can not wait to get the Princeton circuit done now!
Orders have a lead time of approximately 1 week to ship.
