Speaker - Jensen® Vintage Ceramic, 8", C8R, 25W
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

Product Reviews
I received my order in a timely manner, packing was good, the speakers are with my amp tech being installed, at this time, so I can’t say how they sound , I believe it’s going to be killer!
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.
