A little speaker flavor shootout kind of thing

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I installed a new Eminence DV 77 Divinity speaker today in my 1960a cab., so I wanted to listen to it comparatively.

Nothing scientific or studio worthy, just some quick flavors.

It may have just become my new favorite speaker btw.. . Instantly love it!

And that, boys and girls, is why we should be talking about speakers at least as much as we do pickups.

 

[jeremy]

absolutely agree. mic angle and proximity and things like that make a huge difference to the tone, but still, cool to hear the differences

Shhhhhhh (that's our little secret) ...let's talk more about tone wood! Ha!

I've never tried an Eminence I liked, but these seem really interesting. Just a bit dark, but that would fit the Mode Four quite well.

Killer tones, man! I miss my Mode Four.

I bet the dv77 and manowar would blend perfectly.

I think you're right on with that.

I'd totally do it too, but I built the cabinet on the left as a high powered (100w and 120w speakers) cab to handle the mode four, and the one on the right for all my other amps.

Maybe in my next cab lol
I may actually pull my T75 out and replace it with another DV 77. I'm going to give it a couple weeks/months of play time so the newness wears off and I can be more objective. I'm too impulsive and I know it.

Great head to head. Couple I will suggest that have become favorites of mine are the the ET series and the Retro 30 from WGS. Really like both lines from them and will take a Retro 30 in an open back 1/12 over any Celestian I have used. The ET 10 in my Mesa Subway Rocket is just jaw dropping when miced.
This is the little Boogie with a ET 10 WGS miced and running nothing but a little delay and verb in the loop and at a super low stage level.

I ordered another DV 77 Divinity. I can't wait to install it !

What wood is the paper for that speaker made of? I think it's a discussion that needs to be had.

ha ha ha ha right?

answer 1.
It's actually made from ground bones and tears of my enemies.

answer 2. It always comes back to the tonewood ha ha ha ha

 

[Rex_Rocker]

I don't know what wood the paper is made from, but I actually think those speakers have Kurt Mueller cones, LOL. So they're really Celestions in disguise, I guess.

That 77 is niceeeee and my fav at those settings. then the T-75 for me.... but I know you have a the same amp EQ on all of them and those other speakers may do better on other AMP settings.

2 77s and 2 75s in a 4x12 may be badass too

 

[Rex_Rocker]

Well, the Slipknot guy does pair his with the other Omega Eminence, right? I bet it would sound good mixed with a V30 or something with a bit more bite as well.

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I've since, ordered another DV77 and replaced the other T75 in that cab, it sounds great with the V30s. Over this summer break I may pull the 30s and swap back in the 75s just to sample new tones...see how I like those mixed.

Damnnit.
Now I have to look for a pair of 16ohm K-100's.
