I bought this speaker to add a little more bottom end to a Fender Frontman 25R. The speaker from Fender was a bit buzzy or flabby on the bottom end. I felt I could drive the bass a little harder as this speaker is rated higher wattage than the original. It was a bit "brown" untill it broke in, break in took about six hours @ modest volumes, but the highs came thru better than the original and it had none of the "ice picks" in the highs.The lows are clean and tight. Delivers the best clean sound that I've heard from a 10 inch speaker yet! I play mostly clean sounds but some greasy blues and I do use it for some distortion sounds. I use this for a bedroom pracrice amp and as a monitor when I perform. This allows me to hear my sound even when I'm behind my main amp. I use a Peavey 50212 Classic for my main amp and I replaced the original "blue Marvels" with Jensen C12N speakers with equally good results.For that "original Fender clean" sound nothing beats a Jensen for me!

I can see why they advertise the C10Q as one of Jensen's most popular speakers. Bought it because a P10R I originally bought as a stock Fender replacement was breaking up too soon for my taste. Well balanced, and handles clean and distortion with equally good ability. Not sure you'd need to look any further considering the excellent value.
