Help!! Eminence Speaker problem!!
Hello everybody and Happy new year!!
I need some help about a eminence wizard speaker. Yestarday i received my order of an eminence wizard (16ohm) speaker in order to replace a celestion classic lead in my peavey classic 30. The pachaging was superb, the speaker itself appeared to be ok (without any visual damage) and later on, i began to disasseble the amp to install it, i have done this before with the celestion, so in about a relaxed half an hour it was ready to go.
I fired the amp up and plug my old washburn with emg (an later an ibanez with a sd JB) on it (my main strat is away at the moment) and began to play. the sound was fizzy, little bit distorted and lacking any bass, certainly not the sound of my peavey on the clean channel (volume at about 2 which is pretty low)! As i moved on to some power chords, harder picking and little bit of palm muting, suddently the bass came to sound (like a volume swell) the slight distortion disappeared as well as the fizzyness and my peavey sounded normal! when i quited playing for a sec or so, again no bass, fizzyness etc. Harder picking and bam the sound normal again!
It like an out of phase kind of sound although the speaker leads are correctly connected. I reinstalled my celestion and everything is ok again, so its not an amp problem. I tested the speaker with the battery trik to see if the cone moves correctly and it does although is a little bit more stiff and "plastic" in movement in comparison with both the celestion and the original blue marvel (which both have seen about a year an a half of playing).
Is the eminence speaker faulty? does it needs replacement? does it needs some breaking in ( the celestion was ok from the moment i installed it in, brand new as well)? Now, i can return it back to the online store and have another or a refund...but before i ship it back to Germany (which will cost extra money and will take a while) from Greece, i would like to be certain that the speaker is faulty!
If anyone can help or suggest anything, I'll be glad to hear it!
Thank you in advance for you time and your answers!!
Happy new year again!
