As the title implies, took me awhile to find the right speaker for early type Jensen/Americana with high powered blackpanel 6L6GC Fender amps like the Bassman & Pro Reverb.
As a roots/rock/blues type player that digs in with pick & fingers I tweak my fender amp circuits to handle transients sweetly & reduce ice pick response (especially bassman heads).
But any Jensen type modern speaker I've tried including all the Weber 12F150 cone types were too punchy & loud. The 12LC was a step in the right direction, but again too agressive.
I have a M12C 4 ohm in a 1X12 cab for the bassmans, & a M12C paired with an original Utah in the Pro Reverb. The 97db rating is a great match for 6L6GC'S giving more of that 60's response. I play low to medium volume for Americana music.
I also use a WGS ET90 4 ohm speaker 1X12 cab for loud gigs with my 90's band. The M12C has a 50 watt rating so in that application I'd be afraid to damage them. The ET90 is rated at 90 watts & has some Celestion grit which works for grungy stuff.
