I bought this years ago and installed it in a Pignose G40V 40-watt tube amplifier. This was a major improvement over the stock speaker that came with the amplifier, but over the years I feel as though the speaker never really "broke in." It always sounded a bit stiff. Granted, it was wired to an amplifier packed with Chinese tubes and a Chinese transformer, but still... the amplifier itself sounded quite nice when plugged into my 2x12 Celestion-equipped cabinet.

So, what you get with a Ragin Cajun is a speaker with a lot of bark. It's LOUD, and it's midrangey, and it sounds like it would be a good choice for a harmonica amplifier, or for someone who plays blues with a brass slide, or a semi-distorted Dobro kind of a thing. Get the picture? Think CCR or George Thorogood. Cajun is right. It's a definite swamp thing.

That's a very particular sound, but what I wanted was something a lot sweeter. I knew nothing about gear back then, so I bought something that was 10" and advertised to have an "American" sound. If I had known better, I would have called the folks at Weber Speakers and talked to them for a while. But I was young and foolish and didn't have a lot of money. This was a good speaker, but I don't think most players will prefer the tone it offers.
