I bought this series around two years ago for my 76 FPR and did not care for it, I just got a 74 Music Man 210 65 combo. The original music man speaker was cracked and the other speaker was another 1028 or close to it. I first tried a Legend ceramic and the amp did not sound good at all, it sounded better with the original cracked speaker! So I put in the new 1028 and the amp came back to life, sounds really good, very clean with a taste of edge, just a very desirable tube sound produced through this 1028.Is it for every amp probably not, remember its rated at 35 watts, but through the music man it made all the differents I could ask for.Remember alnico speakers are quite expensive and at this price point the 1028 is a very good deal hands down and made in the good ole USA.
