    New Here, lots of questions

    welcome to the forums :wave: JJ has a EL844 which is a lower power tube. it breaks up earlier if you want distortion at a lower volume. if the reverb is a spring type i would just ditch it and get a TC hall of fame. much more reliable/flexible.

    JCM 800 1984A impedance ?

    what's original doesn't matter. what matters is how it's wired now. two 8Ω speakers in series makes those two 16Ω. wire them parallel with another 16Ω pair of 8Ωspeakers would bring you back to 8Ω if you have a muli-meter you should double check the Ω of the cabinet. be sure to read this...

A speaker that definitely won't get lost in the mix." with the 65's you'll be giving up mids, and mids are...
