Deltablues	Re: speaker suggestions for '63 Vibroverb reļssue Actually the stock speakers that came in the 63 brown vibroverb reissues were pretty cheaply constructed Oxford 10K5 copies. (Most everyone I knew with one of these amps blew their stock speakers within the first year or two). The "real" vibroverbs came with the same model speakers, but "real" original pre-65 Oxfords were actually pretty good speakers. (Those that came afterwards were the crappy ones everyone talks about). If you want the original brown era tone, stick with ceramic C10Q speakers. If you want it more tweedy sounding (not like the original) then opt for P10Q's
