The C8R is the little gem in the Jensen Vintage series. It delivers a solid compact tone that defies its size. Extremely versatile, it finds application in small home and student amplifiers; but with a microphone in front, it is capable of transferring on tape some of the biggest tones ever. Not by chance, the vintage Fender® Champ® amplifiers produced with the C8R speaker are treasured by many players as a great studio tool.

Guitarist Description: Crystal clear tone with brightly shining highs. Responds to overdrive distortion with a bright fuzz lead voice.

Lows: Tight
Mids: Aggressive
Highs: Bright
Overdrive: Edgy

5 out of 5

I was a little hesitant that this speaker would work for my unique application. I'm not using it for a guitar amp but as a replacement speaker for a 1948 AM/FM/Phono radio that the original 10" speaker was missing. It turns out this speaker works great. I went with the 8" version instead of a bigger one to get a greater frequency range and am glad I did.

This thing rocks even though the tube amp is only putting out 5w.

Sounded great in a 1973 Bronco I installed it in. 4 ohm version.

I used two of these speakers (8 ohm in parallel) in a clone of the Magnatone Melodier 109 that I built. They turned out to be a perfect match for the self-split push-pull circuit. They have a rich sound when played clean, and they handle the output-tube distortion that the amp produces beautifully. Absolutely perfect for blues. And the price is right! My go-to 8" speaker.

Specification sheet missing basic operating parameters. Peak power is the max power handling capability (in watts) at any instant of time. RMS (root mean square)max power handling capability (in watts) is the amount of continuous power. Since this is not identified, the "25 watt" power rating statement means nothing at all and does not identify the speakers power rating.

The Jensen C8R is not a bass speaker and the results, if used for bass, would not be suitable.

Any 8" instrument speaker should work provided that the ohm rating is correct and the amp cabinet has sufficient room for the depth of the speaker.
