Maybe the power rating on the replacement speakers won't matter as long as they are 10" and are as effecient as the stock speakers. Or is there a set power rating that needs to be paid attention to? Anyone??   Hubert (hubert) Username: hubert Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 02:10 pm:    I forgot to mention this would be for the 210-65, but would all the 210 series 75-130-150 have the same speaker?   Steve Kennedy (admin) Username: admin Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 05:31 pm:    The early (pre-1980) 65 series amps had under-rated 25 or 30 watt drivers that blew frequently if played at loud volumes. The 130s came with higher powered drivers that would stand up much better. The 75 & 150 models were equipped with identical drivers as far as I can tell. Higher power ceramic magnet drivers were the norm by the 1980's. The modern speakers and their replacements were typically rated at 75 watts so they could stand up in singles, pairs and quads with no problems.

I've the pre-80's 210-65. Anyway, may try something as well. Hubert
