Notes on speaker options:
The stock speaker is a custom made WGS G12A/S-25watt. This is a smooth cone alnico G12 with a custom paper former - just like vintage speakers. The tone of this is "smooth" in the highs, with a rich midrange that really brings out the woody character of your guitar.
The Amperian Revolution 65 is an exceptional speaker that has solid and tight lows, detailed mids, and a sweet chime-y top end with shimmery highs. This speaker is probably slightly more versatile, as it has a tone that sits in between American and British style speakers. It has some similarities to a Celestion G12H Anniversary, but with a higher quality build, sweeter mids, and a more detailed yet warmer sound.
A note on the Red Knob Variant:
In the later part of 2024, the Quantum Zen changed to red knobs, the only difference (besides knobs) was a change to a JJ 12AY7 Gold Pin in V1, and a Custom WGS G12A/S - Alnico Smooth Cone with Paper Coil speaker. Previous versions had black/silver knobs, which came stock with a 12AX7 in V1 and either an Amperian Revolution 65 or VSOP for a speaker.
