Hey, I'm replacing the tubes in my AC15cc soon and wondered if anyone can recommend me some good'uns. I'm meaning to replace the speaker with the Celestion Blue too. Is it easy enough to do it myself or should I just take it into a shop?

If you don't know how to bias the tubes, probably take it into a shop. Because evidently you can die. I know nothing about speakers...

replacing toobs is beyond easy and you won't kill yourself. and you're in luck - no biasing required in the AC15, just pop 'em in. folks seem to like JJs for the power section, tung-sol for the preamp section.
replacing the speaker requires a screwdriver and some very basic soldering skillz. if you don't own a soldering iron you'll need a pro or a bro.
