I just bought a pair of AlNiCo Tone Tubbies from Evilbay. Too good a deal to pass. I've wanted a set for a long time. I'll let you know when they arrive!

Cant wait to hear your review. Do you own any other alnico speakers in which you can compare to?

I'm using an Alnico TT in a DR Z 1x12 and it's a winner with almost any head I push it with. A tad on the "dark" side compared to webers etc. but a very warm and articulate sound. I love it !

I like the dark side. I'm thinking of putting one in my Stingray combo with the Celestion Blues and using the same pairing in a cab for my Ghia/ Kendrick.
Isn't the Celestion a 16 ohm speaker? The Tubbies are 8 ohms. Is that going to work?
And to answer Strato's question, the only AlNiCos I have are the Celestions. It should be the other end of the spectrum, but I'll let you know how the comparison goes anyway.

AHHHH! I open the box and the guy shipped them in peanuts. One of the speaker's magnet was in the other's cone. There's a HUGE rip in it. I was looking so forward to these speakers! Now I have to haggle with the seller. Hopefully he'll be cool about it. Ebay.... One day I'll learn

This'll be some kind of hassle!

Here's the results. The guy I bought the speakers from turned out to be great. ;D He tried to refund me all of my money and have me keep the speakers but I wouldn't let him. He ended up sending me half of the money and the shipping and I keep the busted speaker. The other one sounds great. I've been running it with a ceramic Weber Blue Dog. I love it. The Tubby gives me the lows that I've been hoping for. Next week I'm going to try one of the alnico Celestion Blues with it. Also, the busted one is being sent back to Brown Sound for a re-cone.

Mixed the Tubbies with the Blues. WOW! It's a 4 ohm cab so I played it with the Sting Ray. I would have to say that it was the best clean sound I've ever heard. Not sure how to describe it. Smooth, round, perfect. I always felt the Blues were too glassy, but the Tubby evened it out. Next will be a set for the Ghia.

Dangit now you have me gassin for a TT :/ So you say the TT with the Blue sounds incredible? How does it sound with overdrive/distortion? How big is the volume difference between the two?
