I am looking to replace the speakers in my 210 sixty-five and am torn between the Ragin' Cajun, Copperhead and Legend speakers but keep reading conflicting reports.

As well as guitar, I will be using it for steel and wanted to know which of these stays clean loudest. Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks Mike,

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available in the UK - the only ones I can find are the Weber VSTs. It would be too expensive to order from the states once you add on shipping and customs charges.

I think, raalistically, by choices are limited to the Eminence ones.

Didn'trealize you were in UK-sorry. Yeah, weber speakers would be high unless somebody over there stocked them, which I doubt. You might email weber and ASK if anybody across the pond has them. They ARE nice. Of course, there is ALWAYS an Eminence that seems to fill the bill, since they make so many different kinds and they are reasonable.

Hi Jeff,just a quick question. I also have a 210 sixty five and the power transformer has gone. Do you know of any companies here in the uk (im in northern ireland) that would do these parts. Having a bit of difficulty tracking one down.
Cheers Pete

Eminence Legend GB128 is a Greenback clone, is relatively inexpensive, readily available - and sounds good. I have one in a Traynor YGM-3 open back and it sings.

I have a 210 Sixty Five that I put a Rajin Cajun and a Copperhead in, and it sounds great to me. I chose them because they offered more clean headroom, and as long as I keep the channel volume reasonable, I can crank the master up to about 8 or 9 before I get any overdrive. I went for the mixed speakers to get a little more complex and colorful sound, and it worked out really well for me.

Do the Ragin' Cajun and Copperhead sound as loud as one another? I'm interested in mixing speakers but have been afraid of one overshadowing the other and my ear only hearing one. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those Eminence models in a 210-65.

The Ragin Cajun and Copperhead have the same sensitivity rating and pair well together. I once had a Goodsell Super 17 with that combination and I didn't notice one to be louder than the other.
