I have looked into the Jensen speakers and it appears that they offer two types of replacements for ther Champ - the PR8 and the CR8. Have you had experience of both of these?
Would you mind explaining a little more about the Solid State rectifier. I understand what the vintage tube type looks like etc but how is the solid state version installed etc?
