Experience bold American tone with the Minneapolis 1050 by ToneSpeak. This 10-inch guitar speaker showcases a wide and balanced frequency response—perfect for chunky rhythm parts, fluid lead work, or deeper down-tuned riffs. The USA-made purple paper cone pays homage to Minnesota’s music legends, offering a strong yet expressive character across lows, mids, and highs.

Designed with a hefty 35 oz. ferrite magnet, the Minneapolis 1050 features the same 1.75-inch voice coil that powers ToneSpeak’s 12-inch series, ensuring high sensitivity (97 dB SPL) and robust output. The Nomex former adds durability and heat resistance, making this speaker an ideal upgrade for tube amps or any rig needing extra punch and clarity.
