Marshall Valvestate 8010 speaker. Watts and ohms?

Hi Pelle
I think that VS 8010 stands for 8 inch speaker and 10 watts amp.
As the amp is a solid state amp it can take speaker impedans down to at least 4 ohm (givin max power)

Yes, thats correct. It's 8 inch and 10 watts, solid state. (I don't think the "80" in 8010 stands for 8 inches though).
But I'm not sure if the speaker should be 10W aswell, or a little more. Or even little less than 10W to get that broken up sound?

4 ohms, are you sure?

All solid state amps that I have come across ( in the HiFi world) have been designed to give it´s max rated power on a 4 ohm speaker. Thats the easiest way to to do it.
You will only get half the output power on a 8 ohm speaker compared to the output power on a 4 ohm speaker.

I checked my Peavey "Transtube" Rage 158 guitar amp ( 15 W/ 8 inch speaker) and the speaker was a 3.2 ohm speaker.

"Pelle", are you from Sweden ?

Ok thanks.
I'm just trying to fix it as cheap as possible. I don't think it's worth more than like $35 to fix it.
Ebay may be my saviour. =)

Yes, from Gothenburg to be specific. =)

Hi Pelle

They have much more speakers in theire catalog than they show at homepage.

I also found out that GMF http://www.gmf.se/ is selling guitar amp speakers.
