The Eminence speaker arrived in Denmark and will be delievered to me on Monday. Need to unsolder the Bugera speaker connection as it is soldered for some unknown reason why would they do that nonsense!!! Those connectors are rather tight and can not just fall off!!!

Good luck with this desoldering! It just doesnt want to release as those "clips" are already holding strong even without the solder. I even tried to suck up as much solder with the solder pump but there is always some left behind and taking those clips off is just impossible. Also Im risking desoldering the cone wires from the terminal if I continue heating it! I will need to find two new clips and cut these off!

Just cut them off, no one will ever notice the cable is 1 cm shorter.

Can you grab the spade clips with pliers as you heat the solder so it is perfectly runny as you pull? I agree that some of these clips are stupidly tight anyway. I like to relax them just a bit so they are not so painful to yank off. Tried that and I run risk of pulling off the entire board/terminal! It was stupid to solder these in the first place! Will cut them off! I hope my neighbour has a few spare clips for this project as I have none (looked into my tool /screw etc box)

Got the speaker this morning! Here you can see the size difference between the Bugera and Eminence JS-1250 Bugera left - Eminence right Still early days to say somthing meaningful as this brand spanking new speaker sounds a bit "hard" and will need some time to loosen up a bit.

Just tested the "beamy-ness" as I never really thought about it not even with the Bugera speaker. Right infront of it it is the most foucused but not harsh. It spreads to about 45 degrees and then looses on the "hi-fi-ness" and maybe volume but still its very clear and no such thing as muddyness at all. Actually I usually sit to the right side of the amp, and the angle is about 25-30 deg. This should make it sound muddy but this was never the case not even with my Bug speaker! Maybe something to do with the large cabinet?
In any case you can count on 45 degress spread with very good focus and "hi-fi-ness". But even Bonamassa uses those plexi-glass shields to get an even spread so even drummer can hear you the same way bassist and audience does.

Yes my neighbor had a few connectors I could use.
It's normal to get most of the sound 0-15 degrees. All amps will be the same in this regard. I have listened to Chappers and Captn talking about it. What I want is not much change in EQ like muddyness.
Ok. I see I've made a mistake above; I usually play 70-80 degrees from the center of the amp. But I EQ it while standing infront of it. Here you see that the EQ has not changed even if I sit 70-80 deg from the center. The only thing that changes is presence and volume as one is not being hit by the sound wave directly.
I EQ so there is no ice pickiness.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

When I played rehearsals all I desired was to be heard I was not fussing about tone at all. Just flick to bridge pup and up that treble
