The original Utah speakers in my pro reverb seem harsh compared to the alnico speakers in my 45W super reverb. What do you recommend to replace the Utahs?
Get a pair of ET65s! DONE!!
Based on the description of the ET65 it is what I am looking for but, after reading this forum I was leaning toward the G12 C/S.
i was in Dallas at the guitar show last weekend and a guy had a Pro with a G12C and G12CS that sounded killer! Warm and huge but with that Fender sparkle from the C. I have a friend in Nashville that uses a pair of G12C's in his Pro that sounds great, classic Fender all the way IMO.

Yes ... the combo of one smooth-cone and one ribbed-cone G12 that Dean mentioned would be a good choice ... but ... two smooth-cone G12C/S would be VERY dark/warm!
Hello I just replaced the old and tired 66 Jensen vibrantos in my pro reverb. (Original Jensen's were swapped out years ago before I owned the amp) I decided to go with one wgs g12c and one smooth cone. They sound fantastic together but am a bit confused. These speakers are 100x louder than the old Jensen's almost unbearable at volume 5, even as loud if not louder than a 65 twin I used to have. Almost doesn't seem right.. hoping I did everything right. Ordered two speakers both 8 ohm 75 watts. Thank you for your time.
Yes ... you did everything right. They are just that much more efficient than the old Jensens! And yes, a Pro with those speakers really IS louder than a Twin with stock Jensen, Oxford, or Utah speakers!
