Speaker upgrade? Celestion vs. Eminence

[BenPerkins]

Hi guys, I bought a Fender SC112 cabinet which has a 12" Celestion G12P-80 speaker. I was offered a Red Coat Stonehenge 12” and was wondering if that would be a good upgrade? Mainly playing blues, some 60’s and early 70’s rock.

Thank you for any info.

Eminences I've played have had this clear and tight feel, whereas Celestions have been more loose and raspier.

I guess l8t of that can be attributed to higher rating construction with Eminences in general.

they both make lots of good speakers depending on what you want. i love the eminence cannabis rex but i also love the celestion g12m. what dont you like about the 70/80 you have in there now? what amps are you using it with?

Speakers make a huge difference to the sound that you hear, but speaker models will have a bigger impact on how they sound than who makes 'em. An Eminence Swamp Thang doesn't sound even remotely the same as an Eminence Stonehenge. A Celestion V30 doesn't sound at all like a Greenback.

I have never heard of the two speakers you mentioned
But I would agree with the above
It's not so much the brand but the model

Both make a mid hump V30 style, Celestian has the original of course
Both make a more full range american style
And many flavors in between

Seghorn does shoot out a ton of speakers

The G12P80 is the low budget 70/80. I'd jump on the emi in this case.

Havent used those but i love the few eminences ive owned (and still own) the swamp thang is one of the all time best speakers ever!! Warm huge but tight. Govnor is like a v30 but thicker and without that hi mid spike. Tonker was big clear and kind of flat.

IMHO, yes, almost anything is an upgrade over the 70/80.

For that kind of music I would think that speaker is not too bad but I am more concerned about that cab, it is quite small si I would not try it with very loud speakers at their max capacity, and maybe turn it into open back.
