8" Replacement Spkr for Ampeg B3158??

Hi Folks!

I just picked up a used Ampeg B3158, and older one with the front grill being more SVT traditional looking.... And it sounds wonderful, even with the missing 8" speaker. I've got a couple of questions.. Anyone ever replace one of these and can recommend a replacement? The manual tech specs call for a 50W 8 Ohm. Seems like there's quite an array of options out there on eBay, etc... Would I be ok getting a spkr that was rated higher? Not much higher, or ?????

Thanks in advance!!!
