User Reviews
I used for a long time 12 inch speakers, Jensen as well as Celestion. Jensen stays my favorite speaker. Celestions sound muddy around the 160 -200Hz, and this is not the case with Jensens speaker. I use mostly the Alnico P10R only for the typical Alnico sound. When I tried the C10R , I very surprised how good they sound. Bass notes are much cleaner with 10" speakers. Now , Celestions are collecting dust. Jensens for ever.

The new Jensen C10R was exactly what I wanted. I replaced the speaker in my 68 Princeton Reverb reissue and it's perfect.

I have a Jensen C10R in my Silverface 1970 Fender Princeton. It gives me a great sound clean or with overdrive. I highly recommend this speaker.

I purchased two Mod 12-50 's, one Mod 10-35 , and one C10R . I have them in a birch, slant back cab with the two 12" diagonal to one another and the two 10" diagonal to each other . I love the dynamics of this combination of speakers when playing through a tube amp head. I think it sounds better with the EL-84 head than with the 6V6 head.

I purchased 4 Jensen C10Rs to replace JBLs that were in a 1970 Super reverb I recently acquired. It was way too heavy with the JBLs, so I sold the JBLs for mucho dinero and replaced with the Jensens. I also have a 1966 Super Reverb (my amp for 20 years!) with another brand replacement speakers for comparison. The C10Rs were perfect for the Super -good full tone, nice and chimey - my idea of a perfect Super Reverb tone! Give these serious consideration for Fender replacements - they are much nicer than the price would indicate.

I purchased a Jensen C10R. Wow, amazing! it made the replaced speaker sound like a toy. also the quality and workmanship was flawless...I finally have the tone I've been looking for. thank you.

I've been playing guitar for 42 years, and have been playing in bands for 32 years. I bought several Jensen C10R speakers for two Fender Princeton Reverbs, one Fender Princeton, and one Fender Pro Jr. I have gigged with all of these amps. This speaker makes a 12 watt Fender Princeton Reverb loud enough to gig with. The C10R sounds much better than many of those high dollar boutique speakers I've tried. The C10R was very full sounding right out of the box. It took all of my amps to a different level. Clean or distorted - it sounds very even without a hint of harshness. Don't let the small magnet fool you - this speaker takes low guitar notes without a problem. The smaller magnet also makes the amp easier to transport.
