"Upgrade For 1997 Marshall VS15R"

I bought this to replace the stock 'Gold Back' speaker in a 1997 Marshall Valvestate VS15R. The 'Gold Back' is typical of the lower grade OEM Celestion speakers. It didn't sound bad but it didn't really sound "great". This little amp kicks but I knew it could sound better. Upon opening the box I immediately noticed the metal frame on the 'Eight 15' was thicker and felt more substantial than the 'Gold Back'. The improvement in tone was undeniable. Now, granted the Gold Back was 21 years old, but... With the 'Eight 15' the highs were more sparkly and generally had more presence in all settings. I know it will only sound "more better" once the break-in is complete. (I used an HSH Fender Strat with a coil splitter.) The VS15R is unique in that it has dual pre-gains. I dimed both pre-gains and the amp howled like a wild animal. I can only comment on this one amp and speaker combo but it was a huge improvement. And for $29, it was a purchase with great economic value.
