Hello all,

I want to replace the speaker in my Peavey Vypyr 75w. Here is my amp: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Vypyr75/ (scroll down to Specifications). It does not have a speaker out jack like the tube versions.

Here's a back view of the amp: http://images02.olx.com.do/ui/11/07/15/1296189903_150160215_6-Peavey-Vypyr-75W-Sanpera-II-Footswitch-Santiago.jpg. The left cable is the power and the right cable is the footswitch.

The description says it houses a 12" custom voiced modeling speaker, this is not true. It has a 12" Peavey Blue Marvel. It is an 8ohm speaker. Here is the link to it: http://peavey.com/products/speakers/instspeakers/index.cfm/item/71540/BlueMarvel%26reg%3BClassic%26reg%3B-1238.cfm (Click on the Features tab.)

Here is a picture of the speaker housed in the amp: http://www.jlmebay.com/upload/814151c6b253e7a2a445c18660e7d131.JPG

The back of my amp says 75 Watts, 24.4V RMS, 8 Ohms. The back of the speaker says 8 Ohms.

I've never done a speaker swap and don't know anything about requirements, so I'm here looking for help choosing the right speaker. Ideally I would like to go with the 12" Veteran 30 - 60w speaker. But I'm not sure how the 60w of the speaker vs the 75w of my amp will work out. Would the 12" Retro 30 - 75w be a better choice?

Also, when I do purchase the speaker, do I need to get 8 ohms or 16 ohms?

Thanks for you help!

Yea, the "Blue Marvel" speakers are anything but marvelous!  Peavey sticks those in anything they need to keep the cost down on...

The modeling thing is a little tricky ... but I think you would like the Retro 30.  Another option would be the HM 75.

Hope this helps ... post back w/your results :-)
