Vintage Alnico Jensen C15N vs. P15N?

[jerryjg]

Anyone able to quantify the differnces to expect. I just oredered a pair of 60's C15n 50 watt Jensens for my 215 Cabinet.Could be just what the Doctor ordered. If not, I won't have too much into them.
The P15N Jennies are waaay more expensive. Are they that much bettah?

It all depends upon what type sound you are trying for. The smooth cone P15N are the coveted ones. The ribbed are too bright/strident/crackly. The smooth ones are the sh*t - for old school blues and low-med vol jazz type sounds... ;-)

ps - remember I am a Weber 'dealer' and can offer a discount. f you buy an old speaker factor in the cost of a recone...

There's more than just the smooth cones. Gris is right, though, different eras of P15N's had different cones.

If going with a 15" smooth speaker cone, though, doping is a really good idea. All those square inches of undamped resonance......
