Hi everyone, I'm looking for a replacement speaker for my Fender Princeton Silverface (non reverb). It has the original 10" Oxford speaker in it. With volume at 4, bass at 5 and treble at 3 and a clean boost it sounds nice for clean stuff. I often use it with delay and reverb. I would like to use the amp with volume at 6 or higher (to get towards breakup) and with low to medium overdrive, but then te higher frequencies are not nice for my ears. Simply put: I have to turn the treble even lower. And overall I miss some guts.
I have had the amp checked by a technician recently. The amp is in good and (almost) original condition. His advice was to look for a new speaker. After lots of Googling and Youtubing (thanks Vaughn) I found WGS and I think I like the ET-65 the most right now. But since that is a 12" speaker I would go for it's 10" brother, the ET-10. Based on some Youtube movies I showed him, he (the technician) thought the G10C/S would get me closer to what I want.
So I would like to hear your experience/advice on this one. I play a Telecaster with Lollar 52 pickups. Most of the guitar things I play gravitates towards Hillsong, Bethel and Chris Tomlin. Looking forward to your replies!

That should tell ya want cha wanta know ... lemme know if you still have questions.
Thanks Vaughn! I have read those posts before posting my question :)
Point is I like the Oxford speaker for not being to loud (allows me to put volume at 6 or higher without damaging my ears), but it lacks some bottom end and when pushed with overdrive the treble is unpleasant (though it is set at 3). I'm wondering which of these two speakers would fix that best: around same volume as Oxford, nice full sound clean and no unpleasant treble when using overdrive.
I think I'll go for the ET-10. What do you say? Will report back when new speaker is installed.
