I have a Blackstar 4x8 cabinet and it is a great quality product, yet the sound of the 4 Blackbird 15 speakers is on the "darker" side, clear but too much low end for my taste. I was barely able to play with the BASS knob on the Amp (Jet City Pico Valve). I was looking for a brighter speaker and had chosen the Jensen C8Rs over the Celestion Eight 15. I only replaced 2 of the Blackbird 15, just to see if the sound improves, and ... ,what a difference. So I will buy 2 more C8Rs to replace all the blackbird 15s , that will get my sound where I like it. The mounting holes are exact the same, so the replacement was very easy.
