1X15 or 2X10

Perception

Can anybody tell me what the real difference between having 1-15" speaker vs having 2-10" speakers? The reason I ask is because I'm currently looking for a Peavey Delta Blues 1X15 and I'm having a hard time tracking one down but seem to have better luck finding the 2X10 version. I have played the 1X15 and really enjoyed the amp but have never played the 2X10. No stores in Toronto have either of these amps in stock right now and I would be buying from Ebay.

Thanks.

The 1x15" version will have more low-end and a brighter, more piercing treble. The 2x10" version will be tighter and have better midrange response. Both will have approximately the same overall volume output.

I personally love 10" speakers for guitar, although I've heard the Blue Marvel 10" speakers in the Delta Blues are kinda crappy speakers. I'd definitely recommend you try both before you buy either one, but I understand the situation...

Maybe get a few more opinions here, and also check out:

not that you need to buy from his site or anything but Ted Weber has a fantastic site you can learn from. http://www.webervst.com

well migs already posted but I'll say exactly0 the same thing just because i can

I think the 2x10 sounds a little punchier and crisper more mids

The 1x15 is nice and full with more brightness in the top as well and less midrange

SRV used 15"s for his sound he also used a piece of duck tape over the cone to diffuse some high frequency.

Either choice is good and you'll likely be satisfied with either.
