I was looking for speakers, like you. Now, it sounds great after a good break in. No need for new speakers.
I've been close to pulling the trigger on a Ragin Cajun. Maybe I'll just keep playing a bit more.
Suit yourself but I prefer the Copperhead. The Cajun has a heavy magnet, a big voice coil and more power handling than you'll ever need for a stock Princeton Reverb. The smooth cone reminds me of a poor man's JBL.
The Copperhead has a ribbed cone and sounds more "Fender- y".
When it comes right down to it the stock Eminence / Fender Special Design speakers are pretty darn good.
It's the usual deal where musicians spend hundreds of dollars trying different speakers when changing a dollar's worth of parts inside the amp goes further, cheaper.

Campi's settings aren't for mere mortals. He dimes the bass which is usually a recipe for instant flub. There is something going on there. Maybe someone changed the dollar's worth of parts I mentioned?
