Default Fender Champion 40

Do you have one, and did you replace the factory speaker? If so, what did you replace it with, and does it sound notably better?

Don't have one of my own, but I understand an Eminence Cannabis Rex is the hot setup for the Champ 40 - really warms up the tone once broken in, takes out a lot of the "cheap transistor amp" brittleness, broadens frequency response, breaks up more slowly, and with 101.8 dB efficiency provides more headroom/volume - all without the substantial weight of its Swamp Thang stablemate that would be my first choice for a similarly-powered tube amp...
