If I'm making a custom 15 watt tube amp, what is the better speaker? Alnico Blue or Gold?
It will probably end up sounding a lot like an AC15

Are you referring to Celestion blue/gold speakers?

The Gold has higher clean headroom - more wattage handling capability - before breakup, and a bit more low mids depending on the cabinet construction and how many watts you're throwing at it.

The 'golds' are very popular with folks that have AC-15/30s and other vox style amps.
The blues will most likely sound very similar if not identical if you're going to use two speakers in an amp that's no hotter than 30 watts (and no 'top-boost' design).
