I was so excited when I realized i could get the vox 12' blue speaker tone in my 5 watt classic amp by buying a gold 10". But i had reservations all of which were justified. The gold is a superb speaker yes! when paired with amps that can drive them well but for little classic single ended amps, how i dream of a 'mini blue' perhaps only rated at 10 watts which are easy to drive. I like my speakers to be driven to be dynamic and loose like the blue 12 inch can be. What speaker would be better for a small amp? A 'mini 10' blue' could be easily driven at low volume it would have a looser extended bass end which would only benefit the sound of a small one speaker amp. I get seriously disappointed that this product does not exist as the world would be a much more musical place with them!
I don't know where you were looking but I've found five 10" Alnico's in about 30 seconds by typing in 10" Alnico Blue in Google!
Here's a 10" Alnico Blue Pup 10 from Weber speakers:

From what I've read, the Weber Pup & the Redfang might be good ones to try at a sensible price. The Weber in particular seems very popular.
