Thread: Silvertone 1331 speaker selection
Started 3 months, 1 week ago by THX421
Hello everyone- I have been using a Silvertone 1331 for recording for years and it has always sounded great. I tried to use it on my last song and it was "ringing" on certain notes. The speaker is finally blown. Does anyone have any suggestions for a mid 50's 8 watt tube combo speaker? I am thinking Weber since they have the biggest selection, but it is too big!

Getting any new speaker to sound as good as your well broken-in original might be the bigger challenge. I have no specific recommendations, except that a 4 ohm speaker will match fine. If it were my amp, I might experiment with buying some lower priced used alnico speakers from the online auctions. Just about any 8" speaker should be able to handle 8 watts, I would think.

SG, I think THX421 was saying that the Weber range is too large, too many to choose from. Unfortunately Ted is not with us any more, or I would suggest asking him, like most of us have in the past. I believe his son is taking over the business, let's hope he has his father's passion for it and some of his vast knowledge. To be honest, no new speaker will sound exactly like your old one until ...

TA Weber got back with me and suggested the Alnico Classic series with a smooth cone. I bought it yesterday. It was cheaper than I expected ($45) not too shabby Hopefully I will use it for recording again soon. Thanks!

I don't see the "Classic" series listed on the website. I've seen one in an amp on an eBay auction, and you've ordered one - so they're out there.. Am I missing something on the Weber website ? How do the "classics" differ from the "signature"?
