15" speakers to replace Vintage 65w 15's

[leifv]

Hi,

I recently bought a pair of MM 115RH cabs with 1970s 65 watt speakers still in them. I use a MM HD130 head and would like to be able to gig with this rig except the original speakers just wont make it!

Can anyone suggest some new 15" speakers that would have a nice vintage tone to complement this rig?

Cheers!

For the Music Man fans...(if there are any)

a couple Eminence Beta 15's would work well and are pretty cheap.

Someone's tell me Celestion Truvox also maybe

[JimmyM]

Well I don't know what you pay for Eminences in Australia, but in America, the Beta is almost half as much as the Truvox 1530, does 4k on the top end vs 3k on the Truvox, and sounds like the old CTS and Eminence speakers from the 60's and 70's and handles about the same amount of power as the Celestion.

Awesome, thanks Jimmy. Yeah those Celestions are around $250 compared to about half that for Eminence.

Is there a difference between the 15 and the 15A's?

[JimmyM]

Nope. That's what I meant.
