I'm thinking EVMs would probably not fit in these combos, which tend to be pretty shallow.But yeah it really depends on what you want. In my experience with these combos the stock speakers sound kind of dark and flabby, which isn't always bad: can work for low volume recording and whatnot. A friend put a 60w Weber (Chicago, maybe) in his TS 50 and I liked that combination. Fit that amp well tonally, though a little inefficient/underpowered for certain things.

I have the stock speakers in my TS-100 and I think the one I use sometimes in Chicago also has stock speakers. I'm sure they could sound better but I kind of like the sound of them. On this last tour, there were a couple nights where I noticed a kind of resonance coming from hat I wasn't used to hearing and it made me think about changing the speakers so I'll be following this thread.

The stock speakers sure aren't "great", but they do suit the overall aesthetic I think. I just feel like I can do better, I'll mess around a little with some stuff I have laying around and see what happens. I'll keep you posted if anything remarkable occurs.Quick side question, how close is the Boxidizer to the TS preamp? Is it a literal exact copy or just inspired by?

I recently acquired a Traynor TS100 2x12 combo. I've used Traynor TS25's as bedroom/practice amps here and there and every single one has benefited from a speaker swap. Unfortunately, they have just been given hand me downs or whatever raw speaker I happened to have laying around.I would like to be a little more respectful and swap the speaker with something that might actually specifically flatter the amp for once but I am unsure of where to begin. I know that these were once relatively popular amps here, have you any of you guys found a speaker that seemed to work well with any of the 12" TS series?Oh, and quick TS100 side question. The left channel has a "Normal" input and a second jack beneath it labeled "Out". Is the "Out" jack just a front mounted Line Out?

Probably hard to go wrong with Celestion 80s - the wattage works out, they re suitable for rock music and they have a relatively even response as opposed to something like a vintage 30s, but I m a Celestion guy. If you want to play up the clang and noisy blistering distortion sound you could also try a set of EV 12L type speakers.

How do you like the EVM compared the stock (or any other) speaker that you have tried in there?elisha wiesner wrote:Enormous wrote:Quick side question, how close is the Boxidizer to the TS preamp?

Maybe with a tube power amp, could be interesting? Maybe?

Oh, one more long shot. The boost rocker switch on my TS100 is broken unfortunately. Hopefully I can get in there and repair it, but if not, does anyone know a source for those weird rocker switches?
