A very successful and versatile 10”, the Falcon 10 adds a new dimension of openness to the classic, fat and warm tone of its 12” version. The seamed cone membrane delivers an unexpected bass response for its 10” size and it is balanced perfectly with its sweet, yet cutting and present high end.

User Reviews
As a great fan of Neo-Tornado, I had no problem tryin' out Falcon also. Neo is in my Dynacord Jazz '63, which is AC15-like EL84 machine with about 18W. Falcon is now in my Dynacord KV10 (1957), which came originally with German Elbau-alnico (about 8,7" / 22 cm) . I tried first P10Q, it was not bad, but ECL82/6BM8-power tube section made sound too harsh. P10Q is by all means great speaker, but this time light-weight ceramic speaker was "spot on".

Have several Fender Princetons, I'm always looking for that perfect 10 ! Took a chance on this one and got lucky. Its great sounding with smooth highs and nice full & tight mids/lows. Its one of my favorite speakers!

I bought two 10" Jet Falcon speakers as an upgrade for my Peavey Delta Blues amp. The results were beyond any of my expectations. These speakers opened up this amp and enhanced the string to string definition improving the articulation and touch sensitivity. Since the Peavey classic series is known to have less bass than other brands, this speaker's abundant bass was the perfect prescription and now I have all the bass I could possibly want without having to resort to "mods" on the circuit. The mids are pushed a bit over their classic speakers but not excessively, and the highs are smooth and chimey with no ice pick tones. All in all this speaker is a winner in all categories and the price point is amazing. I'm beginning to see them offered in high end boutique amps and predict they will be a replacing a lot of Celestion and Eminence brands in the near future. They were PERFECT for my Peavey!!!

Just want to let you know that I used a 10 inch Falcon speaker in my amp build. It is a fantastic speaker very responsive, clear as a bell and a nice warm tone. The bass is just awesome and when overdrived it gives a nice growl but never gets muddy. I am extremely happy with it and want to thank you for recommending it to me. I will always use a Jensen speaker in future projects.
