Eminence Legend V12 12" Guitar Speaker
Surely a favorite! The V12 exhibits very tight definition along with lots of volume and rich, tonal harmonic balance. A British manufactured cone gives characteristics suitable for many styles.
This is a perfect speaker in high power combos for Jazz and Rock. However, a pair of V12's in 'The Twin' makes for a good rock and blues combination when playing a Les Paul. The speakers have a very 'British' sound but are much more mellow than some British counterparts. When playing a Strat through this set up, it sounds less 'British' -- the tone is smooth and creamy. Great for Country or Jazz if you want that Albert Lee tone.
In Marshall applications, with a Les Paul you can expect a 'Classis British Rock' sound. This speaker is well suited to amps with EL34 tubes. The speaker breaks up relatively quickly and provide a honkin' low end! The tone is reminiscent of Clapton and The Blues Breakers. Plug in a Strat and you can get some of that Texas honk too.
Eminence Guitar Legends are specially designed for electric guitar amplifiers. Tuned by skilled ears, these hand-built specials feature a range of materials and ideas from nearly 40 years experience. Models such as the LEGEND B15, 121 and Modeling 12 are state of the art designs which meet the modern-day demand for power handling while other models feature vintage magnet and cone materials to recreate the traditional sounds of lead and jazz guitar.
The most difficult aspect of presenting a guitar speaker to the world is being able to describe its tonal characteristics. Your choice of guitar speakers is at least as important as your choice of pickups or strings. Just as you customize a guitar to suit your sound, so too can you customize — or ‘hot rod’ — your combo with Eminence loudspeakers.
