RE: Fender Deluxe VM speaker replacement

I would like to get a warmer smoother country/blues type tone from this amp. The cabinet and power head arrangement does not leave extra room for a taller or wider speaker. The dimensions for the stock Celestion G12P-80 119mm tall and the magnet is 135mm in diameter. The magnet clears the tubes and transformer by mybe 1/4" so not much room for a larger speaker. I read that a fella changed the stock speaker out for a Eminence 1218 and got a tone he liked better. What speaker is recomended to change the tone of this amp to a more blues type tone. Thanks for your help.

Easy!  The ET-65.  You will be in Love !

The ET65 will fit? I can’t find any measurements on this speaker.

Thanks.

Update: Just heard from a (rather rude and unkind) fellow that the ET65 is TERRIBLY close to the tubes and transformer on this amp … so proceed with caution! The WGS equivalent to the Eminence 1218 would be the G12Q … which SHOULD fit, as it has a tiny vintage size magnet (like the 1218)!
