They all sound good but I think I'd be happy with the stock speaker

Thumbs up for greed-shaming the amp manufacturers for jacking up the price.

Bought this 3-4 years ago right after the design change. The stock 70-80 speaker is a bit stiff when new but it keeps sounding better and better the older it gets. To speed up the break in you can always hook up a looper pedal too the guitar and Amp play you favorite metal riff before going to work or vacation. The neighborhood will love you 😜

I actually think the stock speaker sounded considerably better in all examples. The amp is definitely voiced to compliment the 70/80! Cool!

Nice, I’m anxious to watch this one! I put a Celestion Gold in my Stage Right amp over the weekend and love it. I’m going to watch this right now. Thanks Darrell!

I bought this amp after watching your first video. I’ve been using it for a few months now and I’m still really impressed. I run a pedalboard through it , and it sounds amazing. Thanks for this comparison video. I’ve learned quite a bit about new gear, guitar repairs, and maintenance from your channel Darrell. Thanks for great content. Keep it up!

Yesssssss!! A speaker upgrade w/ a WGS American Vintage 8 was definitely worth it in my Fender G-Dec Jr. love that amp.

Nice vídeo!!! You definitely do an amazing job!! I don’t like the buzz tones as well, so the last eminence speaker would be my goal to. Thanks again !!

Being more of a jazz/blues guy I have to say that the CR really spoke to me. I totally get where you were with the other two and if I were looking for something more along the rock or even country lines I would definitely head towards the Alnico. Another great video Darrell. Thanks again.

What a great topic idea!! I've wondered about this.

The stock speaker sounded best to me, but speakers also need to break in and they don't always sound as good as they can be right away.

Love this amp. I was able to sell my stock speaker for $50 and pick up a Celestion G12 Vintage 30 UK made(16 ohm) for only $50. The amp roars like a sweet Marshall now. Hard to beat for $250 all in!

Hey, thanks for the GAS! I have ordered a new Eminence for my amp... This is so exciting! Please keep the mod videos coming! Would love to see "best bang for buck" mods! Or the occasional "day in the life of" videos, say, when you do your guitar maintenance work. Thanks!
