Looking to upgrade the speakers in my 2x10 cab. It's actually a Fender Vaporizer that I rewired in stereo and am using as a cab for my Kemper like this:
Kemper (cab sims off) - > 25w Stereo Camplifier - > 2x10 stereo cab
It already sounds very, very good to my ears but I can't help thinking the stock Vaporizer speakers are probably quite cheap and could benefit from upgrading with something nice. Any recommendations? (I'm mostly playing an EJ strat clean to 70's rock kinda sounds, home playing only so doesn't need to go crazy loud)
I wondered about a mix of speakers to cover Jensen / Marshall profile territory, though I guess the SPL should be roughly similar so that the stereo is still perceivable.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

ICBM will attest the Greenback is a nice ten but I don't know if suited in this case?
G10N-40 ? As fitted to the Mk1 HT-5.

There is a 16 Ohm version as well.
If you want to spend a bit more the G10C 75 has a very good reputation.
Pretty pictures of stuff and things here...

Did you remove the amp chassis or just leave it in there?
Ah that’s cool. No, I left the amp in there so I could still use it if I wanted to. If I was moving it around a lot I’d remove it though, just to save the weight. I rewired the existing speakers so they each have a separate lead to go into L and R of the Kemper Stereo amp outputs but I’ve bought a 2 into 1 jack plug adapter so I can still plug the speakers back into the vape amp if I wanted to do that.
It actually sounds pretty damn good already. Maybe there is no need to re-speaker but worth a go, I think. I’m currently leaning towards 2 x WGS G10c’s….will let you know how it goes…
I recently got a cab with some celestion g10s-50s in. I think they're from the 90s and there isn't a tonne of info about them online. They're quite efficient and word on the web is their power rating is probably a low estimate. They get a nice thump and they have a good, clear sound.
