So, I just got a 30wt Weber Alnico Silver bell to replace the C90 speaker in my Mesa cab...... What a great speaker to give the TA-15 some very vintage mojo!
While the C90 sounds great with this amp, the Alnico gives it a less "polite" top end breakup when cranked, but more compressed. Still plenty of low end too and the mids are moved up the mid-range scale to a higher mid tone. The top end is very chimey (on channel 1), but never shrill or piercing.
If you're looking for a more authentic "AC30" tone, get an AlNiCo speaker for the TA..... It'll take you back about 40 years to some killer classic rock tones and some clean tones that will compete with just about any Botique AC30 type amp (Dr. Z, Matchless, Bad Cat, ect...)
