Between these two, ONLY these two please, which speaker do you think would be best for my Blackface Princeton reverb to give me that classic chimey Fender sound?

Please note, I only play at my house and in the studio so achieving maximum volume is of no importance.

Never heard that Eminence, but I'm not a huge fan of that particular Jensen.

Sleph · April 24th, 2011, 09:33 PM

the Eminence Legend for me...much sweeter sounding...I find the Jensen a bit nasal and scratchy.

fezz parka · April 24th, 2011, 10:26 PM

The Eminence is a superior speaker to my ears.

donh · April 24th, 2011, 11:19 PM

ditto!

robt57 · April 24th, 2011, 11:26 PM

Legend, easy decision for me... And I am a Jensen fan too. Not C10 or 12 Rs though...

TommyChung71 · April 24th, 2011, 11:29 PM

The legend seems like a good choice but I just want to make sure that it still sounds like a classic Fender. I put a Weber 10F150T in at one point and I felt like it lost too much of the Fender vibe to me.

Still go with the Legend? I really want this to sound like a classic Fender. I cannot express that enough as the Weber changed the sound to me.

robt57 · April 25th, 2011, 12:21 AM

The Hot Rod speakers are basically Legends FWIW.

I put two Emi Legends in my SilverFace Twin Reverb. It put a little more growl in the lows, and sweetened up the highs. The chime was still very much in effect. I could turn it up higher without hurting everyone's eardrums as well. I know what you mean about really efficient speakers. People don't want "sag" or "farting" on their low end, but sometimes an amp will loose it's warmth, and the highs and mids sound almost processed. The Legends will keep the amp's character.

From your other thread you already know this, but here's another BIG vote for the Legend. The C10R is quite anemic in comparison.

And yes, the Legend translates the classic BF tone in spades--that had also been a priority for me.

TommyChung71 · April 25th, 2011, 10:07 AM

I think the decision has been...Legend it is. This topic can be put to rest. Thanks again guys.

Radspin · April 25th, 2011, 07:44 PM

I really like the C10R in my PR but now you guys have put doubt into my mind!

Ringo · April 25th, 2011, 07:48 PM

My buddy just replaced the tired original Oxfords in his 68 Vibrolux with a pair of Eminence 10" ceramic speakers, and the amp sounds great!
The basic Eminence speakers are the best bang for the buck around for some good sounding speakers IMHO.

x2plex · April 25th, 2011, 08:07 PM

The Eminence Legends (alnico) have worked for me, too, but I'm also satisfied with the Jensen C12N in a low-power twin. I'm very happy with the 2x10 extension cab I recently built and stuffed with 10" Legends for my old Vibro Champ. I took that trip because of a previous experience with Eminence Tonkers in a 4x12.

Rick330man · May 6th, 2012, 11:03 AM

I replaced the mediocre stock 10" speaker in my Pignose G40 with an Eminence Legend 105. Loved the improvement so much I went ahead an bought a second 105 to have as a spare.

Dr. Bill · May 6th, 2012, 02:49 PM

The Eminence Legend 1058 is a fine speaker--I currently have one in my '78 SFPR. BUT . . . for your purposes I'd go with this instead: http://angela.com/fenderspeaker108oh...geceramic.aspx

Less money too!
