Any recommendations for 8" speaker replacement?

  • Hi everyone

    I'm playing Kemper through an active cab with 8" speaker (which is actually Marshall MG15 "converted" to an active cab by removing preamp) which sounds good. Recently I was wondering can I make it sound better by replacing the speaker. Search on the web showed that Celestion Eight 15 is a good candidate, but there's not so much comparison videos on YouTube, and the ones that are there do not sound convincing to me.

    So does anyone have any experience with 8" speakers, and specifically with Celestion Eight 15? I'd appreciate any information. I'm playing clean, crunchy and high gain (no downtune).


    Disclaimer: I know, that the best option here would be to buy some 1x12, and in that case I would definitely wait for a Kemper Kabinet. But, since my Kemper is unpowered, I would need either upgrade to a powered one or to buy an external power amp, which in both cases is a hassle I currently don't want to deal with.
