Best speaker upgrade for Carr Rambler?

WillEdmunds

Hi all. I'm thinking about changing the speaker in my Rambler. It currently has the stock Eminence Wizard in it. It sounds good, but is a little bright and slightly harsh to my ears. I'm looking to soften the tone of the amp a little, and add a bit of vintage warmth, whilst still retaining the nice clarity and '3D' clean tone. I've hard Carr's new Elsinore speaker is an improvement on the Wizard. Anyone compared the two? Was also thinking perhaps a Tone Tubby would pimp my tone a bit! Thoughts?

I tried a rambler with a wizard initially and found it a bit bright too. I now have a rambler with the Elsinore, and I think they're an excellent match. I've got a spare Elsinore speaker actually, but it needs a recone.

Yeah I think the Elsinore is probably the way forward. Thanks!

The best option is the Elsinore, imho. It literally transforms the Rambler...

Cool, Elsinore it is then I reckon! Nice one
