Eminence Legend 105 10" speaker: Any comments?

PraiseCaster · April 20th, 2004, 05:18 PM

I'm thinking about getting the Eminence Legend 105 10" 8ohm speaker for my Pignose G40V tube amp. Does anyone have any experience, thought's or insights about this particular speaker? I would love to hear anything you guy's have to say about it.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's what caught my eye, but right away I heard the old adage "You get what you paid for!", goin off inside my head. That's why I decided to ask all of you guy's for your opinions.

Thank You Stan!

I used to have four in a '68 Super Reverb. Great bang for the buck, not bad speakers at all, very efficient (read : loud), but a little woolly to my taste.
I do play a big 17" hollowbody, and they were a little too bassy and "woofy" for that - but with a tele that's probably a plus.
I eventually replaced mine with RI Jensens (two C10Q and two C10R) that I like better for my applications, but a lot of people find them too bright. The Eminences were certainly louder and more versatile.

So far, So good! I think as soon as I can hide the money from the wife, er, I mean save the money up, I'm gonna pull the trigger, and get one!

Thank's guys!

I have two legends in my recently acquired "preowned" Holland Tweed Bassman clone. I was thinking about replacing them before I bought and heard the amp.....now I am leaving them in.

Sounds fine to me. I did change one of the preamp tubes to a GE NOS 12AX7, that made a big difference I can tell you 8)
