Re: Eminence Comparison List

They don't actually sound exactly like the Celestions they are compared to though. The Eminence seems to have a smoother tone with less of the classic Celestion crunch. They sound awesome...don't get me wrong. But between the Wizard and my UK made G12H30's, I prefer the G12H30 and I'm keeping my G12H30's. Lew

Re: Eminence Comparison List

That's very true Lew, this is meant to be a list of "Modeled after_______ speaker".

Re: Eminence Comparison List

I have come to the conclusion that Eminence should have models with the same or closer resonant frequency as Celestions. I think that they might be better if that were so. The Eminence frequencies are quite a biy higher than Celestions and lose a little thump because of it. If you dont play metal music you may like Eminence better. My favorite Em,inence all around are the Texas / Manowar / Governor / Swamp thang / Wizard (without the volume and peircing highs) & Tonker for cleans only.

Lew nailed it again.

There are some parallels when looking at Emi/Celstion's and Dimarzio/Duncan.

Duncan's and Celstion's are a bit more classic sounding, where Emi's and Dimarzio's are a bit smoother. All opinion, of course.

EDIT: Jumpmarine, the Ramrod is like a darker G12H30. It has early breakup, strong mids, with a decent top end. It's strength is in the lower-mids. A near perfect speaker for what amps with 10" speakers lack, IMO.
