anyone know of any small (6 inch) guitar speakers either with/without cabs?
I'm getting so much better recording sounds from micing small speakers than from 12 inch ones that I thought it would be good to track down some small guitar speakers and try running them from my peavey c30 to see what tones I get.
Heh, I was just thinking how funny that would look on stage... Jon Gill and his wall, er shoe-box of sound!!! ;D
The thing is that it should sound great mic-ed to the FOH. :)
Weber makes an alnico and a ceramic 6" in his signature (lower end) line.

Tobe beat me too it. But I'd recommend an 8" model. He makes some really good 8" ones.
I will take a look at that.
It really bugs me that when I was a kid I had lots of old valve amps that my Dad gave/made me for guitar with nice 8 inch eliptical guitar speakers that had a lovely warm sound. All of that just eventually fell apart and hit the trash when I was around 11 or 12 as of course we didn't think about this stuff becoming rare at some stage. My dad played guitar, piano and violin and had a great passion for music. Sure wish I had kept that stuff from back then. On a side note, my dad was always taking things apart to make use of the bits for other things....he actually had a phonograph in a lovely wooden cabinet in perfect working order....he took that apart to use the mechanism for something else that he was "inventing" at the time ! Damn, if only I had that now !

8" Alnico Jensons are a nice speaker for low power amps.
