Nothing in a 8 inch format get's you closer to a full mature sound.
Had to swap a crappy 8inch speaker and bumped onto this one.
MAYOR IMPROVEMENT!!!!
Does not have the punchyness of a great 10" set, nor the balls of the famous 12"s but it does have a great (vintage-midrangy) sound.
Multiple of these little gems do sometimes make heads turn around and stare your way.
A benefit in most cases is the lower sensitivity, which prevents local law enforcers to ring your bell and saves you a visit to the weekly hearing-impaired-club when turning your amp up to get that nice break-up from the power tubes.
