Re: Eminence speakers (Patriot/Redcoat)
i run both the red white & blues and swamp thangs in my 6x12 (4x12 is x pattern, 2x12 is all swamps) and love them
i wouldn't reccomend the rw&b by itself for any application in any amp, but it's good in combinations. Before i got the swamp thangs i had a 2x12 with a legend 125 & a red white & blues
basically they're good for taming brightness & adding midrange grit
and well, anyone who has ever played a hot rod deluxe knows the 125 has too much treble, not enough bass, and breaks up too soon. The swamp thang is basically a 125 that's been 'corrected'

I have a Ramrod in a small Laney. It is a dark speaker with early breakup. It really works in a "brighter" combo.

I geuss your giving up on them Kendricks? When i was in the market for a good 10" for my Princeton. I was looking at used JBL E-110's, Weber 10F150's,Weber Cali series and the Ragin' Cajin from Eminance. (I just picked up a privite jack and I got to say it does everything they said it does.
)You really can't go wrong with a weber 10'' IMO. For me it came down to the Weber Cali and the ragin cajin. The Weber was only $10 more and I had a pretty good idea what that would sound like where as the Ragin Cajin was somewhat a mystory. In retrospect I think I made the right call , But I bet that ragin' cajin is a pretty good speaker. I haven't heard anything bad about the redcoat/patrioit line yet? So It maybe worth a shot? But I would take a Weber over a Eminance any day. Good luck on your Quest.:beerchug:

I really dig my man-o-war and governor combo in my mesa/boogie cab. Really rounded things out in comparison to the vintage 30's. They got my vote.

Re: Eminence speakers (Patriot/Redcoat)
Ken: I actually lke the Kendricks quite a bit but the amp is 40 watts and the speakers are 20 watts each and I feel like Im pusing them just a tad too hard...I also feel like they could be just a bif tighter plus IM just kind of looking at other options.
Thanks guys!

Re: Eminence speakers (Patriot/Redcoat)
I have used the GB12s, 122 alnicos, Wizard, Swamp Thang. Have dug every one of them. No other company comes close in terms of value, performance and variety. I have not heard a bad one yet. The Swamp Thang is currently my favorite speaker. I am getting tired of the Greenback type of tone. It is a sound that is used by so many players, to the point it is not unique or distinctive. I am enjoying the persuit of different tonal flavors.

I have a Cannabis Rex in a Fender Music Master Bass amp (dual 6V6 cathode biased value-priced screamer). It has great lows and mids with smooth highs, and is very loud. I wish they would make a 10" version. I think a couple of the Eminence 10" models sound interesting, but I'm anxious to try the Jensen Neo 10 since the Neo 12 is amazing.

Re: Eminence speakers (Patriot/Redcoat)
the rw&b tames brightness, that's why i use 2
i wouldn't reccomend them alone because they're really, really dark. The best way i can describe them is tons of gritty dark mids, dark & lacking highs, and dark & lacking lows. I can see them for some sort of...expirimental tone, but not for anything else, by themselves that is
as far as my 6x12 with 2 rwb & 4 swamp thangs, well, i think it sounds friggin great. Real real american sounding. Plug a marshall into them & it leaves much to be desired, but, plug any vintage bassman, bandmaster, 5150/xxx, basically anything with 6l6's into it & it's great. Real real good for complimenting "the 6l6 tone". Brings out all the great parts, like the lows & highs, adds a little midrange grit, it's just great. this is also a LOUD combo, with the rwb at 101db and the swamps at 102, if i remember right, both rating at 100+ watts.

I've got a Swamp Thang and Texas Heat. I wouldn't recommend the ST by itself as it's low end can be a bit much. But mixed with the more even eq'd TH its a great combo.

Re: Eminence speakers (Patriot/Redcoat)
Teletubby's er Tonetubby...the mids sounds wrong on them...everyone I have tried.
I am also looking for something to get myself out of the Celestion rut.
I love G12H's but sometimes I just want something else, something with that woody midrange and fat bottom, airy highs...sigh...hehe
