Your classic pairing for 5E3s is an American voiced speaker like a Jensen. You'll still get Tweedy dirt and relatively low headroom rather than blackface cleans though.

I used to own one with a Celestion Greenback. Now that had it's own thing going on. The low sensitivity meant you got very low volume drive, and plenty of mids.

It depends what you're after.

I think that the Weber 12A125-S would suit me best but cost of getting it him gets very expensive with the impact of covid on delivery times & freight costs.
I'm getting the Cannabis Rex which also seems to very popular with other owners of 5E3 circuits..

You can also fit an 12at7 or a ecc81 in the preamp to tame it a bit IIRC
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Gotta say, I'm just loving this amp! A 6V6 clean is so much warmer than a typical Fender 6L6.
