A cab with 2x12" celestion blues would be even closer, but the Jensen Blackbird is close to the Celestion Gold in sound, which suits me.

Thanks for the insight. Right now I am making due with an AC10c1 hotrodded with Genalex Gold Lion tubes and a Celestion 40watt Creamback speaker. Originally i wanted to install a Celestion Gold speaker, but the cabinet only offers a gross depth of 4.25” for speaker installation. The 10”, 16ohm Greenback and Creamback speakers fit perfectly. At 26lbs. it’s perfect and sounds wonderful.
