Anybody do a side to side compare of the stock Evans Eclipse speaker against a Weber California in an Evans amp? Any freeback on just using a CA with an Evans would be useful as well. I'm toying with changing speakers in my Evans and looking for some input. Thanks!

Hi Kenny. No can do. The Cali is rated at 80 watts. Weber is conservative with their numbers and I've had no problem pushing a Cali with a 100W Fender Dual Showman Reverb but you'd be going way over spec with the Evans. If the JBL-ish direction is where you're headed, try the speaker that Tom Bradshaw is selling. Tom Bradshaw
For some reason I can't find any reference to it on his site but you can email him. It's getting good reviews---he's using it in his new Webbs.

-----BTW--my Evans FET 500 Custom is dead and needing to get sent to Evans but several years ago I changed the Eclipse for a Black Widow and it was a good upgrade.

That's why I asked for some input. I may want to rethink this for sure. Thanks for the help.

I`ve had a 10" Weber Cali in my Evans RE200 for a couple of months now. I`ve played gigs with a six piece band with it , no problems. For the fattest chords the 10" is a bit small, but at least I haven`t been able to blow the Cali !
