Andy, did you order it from The Speaker Factory? The 25w?

If so, Brad's good to deal with. I haven't bought speakers from him, but he re-covered an amp for me a couple years ago. He did very good work.

Yep, I got it from the Speaker Factory (support local eh), I thought about asking him for a swapsies buuuut Sonic gave me an idea for a twin cab....ha ha har....which means I can convince the wife (later on) for ANOTHER speaker purchase!

How will you manage the impedance if using the same speaker in a single and later in a twin?

[McCreed]

Ah yes, support local. I forgot you're in Brissy. (me too)

I've never built an amp, I stopped "tone chasing" with things like speaker and tube swaps awhile ago. (I still have a dirt pedal problem though )

[Andy40]

What Amp(s) have you got?

[Simon Barden]

New speaker for the 5E3 now, then later another 16 ohm speaker to make an 8 ohm 2x12" cab.

Of course. I misread Andy's comment about "swapsies", thinking he made a swap rather than just considered one.

Simon and I are on the same page here

What Amp(s) have you got?

I'm down to two now... a Fender Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster (released last year) and a Roland Blues Cube Artist.
Both around the 1200 dollar mark. I sold my last two tube amps last year.
