I saw this already!
It's not bad, but then again it didn't really change my mind. I knew the V30, Swamp Thang and H30 were good, I knew I hated the T75. The Electro Voice is nice, but I can't get over the price tag those sell for.
-
Yum: Greenback, Swap Thang
Yuck: G12M-70, JBL
But I'd rather test them by myself than judging from a youtube vid...
-
Now gassing for a couple of swamp thangs.
-
It was the swamp things that stood out for me as well.
-
I liked the tonkers after that, and the 70 80 after that. I thought that on the whole the eminence stuff had a smoother, richer sound than most/all the celestions.
I intend to pair them with V30s in place of K100s in an ubercab, driven off a powerball.
I'd be a little concerned about cutting in a mix with that (they seem quite dark), but Im not gigging at the moment, it's for recording.
-
Well, I ordered the swamp thangs. I'll let anyone thats interested know how it goes.

Count me in the "anyone thats interested" list then 8)

I'm a big fan of Eminence, I've had a Cannabis REX and now have a Governor. I think they are great value and really well made speakers....

Don't have that much experience with speakers yet, but in my Blues Junior, the Eminence Legend GB12/8 sounds way better (to me...) than either the stock one (eminence "fender special design" whatever that means) or the V30 that ships with some "limited" (lol) editions.
Just my 2 cents...

Tom - told you that you would like that Governor!
-
well done ..but remember, thats for a Rivera Venus 6 amp and a Les Paul-before you go investing in new speakers, remember your MMV(I love greenbacks, for example, but it is just plain torture to use them with my Boogie Coliseum-poor greenies!The Ev's sound best ,but the greenies are right at home with a Boogie Electradyne..different speakers/cabs/etc, for different applications...man, there are just SO many variables..the path to righteous tone DOES BEGIN , however, with BARE KNUCKLES!!)

Yeah it's great and goes well with my WEM :D
Would like to try a Wizard at some point as well....

I listened with another window open and flicked - I was surprised by the fact how nasal (in a bad way) the V30 was. For me it was the G12h30, the Celestion Gold, the Jensen P12N and the Swamp Thang
The G12T75 was sooo cr@p.. :D
-
I found myself losing the plot after a certain amount of samples. How you guys can focus to that extent is beyond me. I picked out a few that I preferred but that is as far as I got- shame on me.

Wait for a couple hours, start again, lather, rinse, repeat :mrgreen:

same here, for me it's more a case of I know what to avoid, that T75 for example, I knew it wasn't a good speaker but that video makes me really wonder why on earth it's the default for Marshall 1960 cabs

Tradition, context (doesnt sound the same with a raging JCM800 as there), production contracts yada yada.
