About to test m1mk15 - valvetstate 10W 8" speaker suitable?

    Hi, I'm about to start testing my m1mk15 and I have on old Marshall Valvestate 10 (W) amp with 8ohm 8" speaker. Would the speaker be suitable for testing, any idea? M1mk1 manual talks about 25W speaker
    and I don't have a clue about the valvetstates' wattage.
    I wouldn't want to blow up the OT....

    You won't blow your OT, only the speaker, if you stop testing after the speaker went to smoke :o I assume, the speaker will stand 15W for a while, but full power of the M15 is a bit more then 15W (near 20W) so I wouldn't try that for too long...

    Ok, it's just for testing purposes. I'm going to build a cabinet with a "real" speaker later, now I only want to see if I've managed to solder everything to their right places...

    Is the power rating of the speaker 10W? Sometimes, small practice amps will have a speaker rated for higher power than the output of the amp. Check the back of the speaker.

    Just finished first testing and the bloody thing worked!
    Nice glowing bottles and I even managed to wire the switches the right way (channels 1&2...).
    Now off to build the box and 1x12" cabinet.
