Alnico Silver Bell

Classic AlNiCo Marshall Tone. 12″, 40oz AlNiCo magnet, 1-3/4″ voice coil, ribbed cone.

Big low end, compressed high volume rock and roll tone, reminiscent of the classic Marshall stack tone.

As with all Weber speakers, the higher the power rating, the warmer and smoother the speaker. The 15 watt is aggressive, bright, with a complex and textured midrange and upper midrange bite. At the other end, the 100 watt is warm, smooth, yet is detailed and clear with very good definition. As with the Blue Dog, the 75 and 100 watt models use very high temperature voice coils that are the same weight and mass as the lower power voice coils. That assures good attack and a broad frequency response due to the low weight and mass of the voice coil assembly.

Also available with Weber’s Hemp cone, which is a smoother, darker tone, with less attack (great for taming treble).

Try pairing this with a Blue Dog in a 2×12 combination. Great low end from the Silver Bell, while retaining clarity and definition from the Blue Dog. (or a pair of each in a 4×12)
