Hello, I'm using a Kemper for home stereo playing like this:
Kemper stereo out - > stereo power amp (25w per channel) -> 2x10 cab (wired in stereo)
It sounds great but that cab is just a Fender Vaporizer (with the amp section removed) So I'm sure there are gains to be had from upgrading the speakers in there (I don't know what they are but they're badged "Fender Vaporizer").
I play clean to breakup mostly but some rock too, mostly at low-ish volumes. so the ideal would be something that can handle Fender blackface type sounds well but also work well with Marshall profiles....(sorry!) Given that it will be stereo is it a good idea to use two of the same speaker, or do you think I'd be better served by a combination of two different speakers that cover the frequency spectrum better? I guess I should choose two with similar SPL to help the stereo?
Many thanks for any advice!

Cool setup!
If it were me, I'd go with a pair of G10C ... my favorite 10 ever made! Huge, warm, sparkly, beautiful...
However, if you want to go ain the British direction, go with a pair of ET-10
Thanks a lot Vaughn, G10c's it will be, then!
You have a couple of distributors here (UK) so shouldn't be too hard to get hold of.
cheers!

Out of interest, would it be worth substituting one, (or both) of the G10c's for an Alnico (G10A)? What would that bring to the party?
Many thanks,
Jim
PS: thanks for the beverage on amp trick I picked up from you - definitely improves the tone (though it seems the less beverage in the container, the better it sounds ;) )
The G10A and G10C were the first WGS speakers I ever heard; I reviewed them for Vintage Guitar Magazine many years back. They blew my mind. The differences are actually VERY(!!) subtle:
G10C: Has a bit more solid and authoritative bottom end.
G10A: Has a touch sweeter top-end, especially when pushed. It also tends to sound just a little more harmonically complex.
Really, that's about the difference.
That's very helpful, thanks Vaughn!
