SpeedRacer	Re: DIY Deluxe complete!! Now on to Speakers Once you're in the >$100 arena, I'd personally look into buying a well reconed "original, say like an old Jensen or an old Celestion. You could try Gregg @ Vintage Amp restoration if you like. For a great crunch tone, a Celestion G12-70 is a great new speaker in a tweed Deluxe btw. I think the VOX is a fantastic speaker but I'd worry too much about blowing it to have a good time! ($300.. ouch!) For about half that you can buy a number of old Jensen or new (or old) Celestions which will work great IMO. If you want that good old time "US" tone, there is nothing out there that can touch a real vintage Jensen IMHO.
