Does anyone know if the 10" speaker
is 8 or 16 ohms? I'd like to put a
Celestion G10 vintage in it.....

Thanks. My Crush 30r is on order. I've played
one at the store. I'll have to wait and play it
at home though because they always sound different
after you leave the store. But, I'm thinking I'm
going to upgrade the speaker. I don't mind investing
in a lower end amp because its an Orange...

Is it really worth the upgrade? I have a crush 15 and its a useable amp, but the money you spend on a speaker would be better spent on a pro-set up for your favorite guitar, or a new pedal to give you more sound options. I don't think a speaker upgrade will be very noticeable or money well-spent. The amps sound fine as they are, and the phrase "polishing a turd" springs to mind. Not that the amp is a turd (obviously), but its a solid state practice amp and it is what it is.

If you can get it cheap/free its worth it, if not its not, when an epiphone valve junior costs about the same.

I wouldn't waste time or money on replacing the speaker in a Crush. You could have bought a completely different amp for the price of yours plus a speaker. I'd save that dough and blow it on something that will show results (new pickups perhaps?) or an Epi Valve Junior or AD5.
