Swamp Thang with a bit more high ??Phil_tre April 29th, 2012, 11:43 PM Hey ! I'm looking for a 12" speaker that sounds like the Emi Swamp Thang but with a bit more high freq. definition... The problem is that I'm not ready to let go any bass if you know what I mean... Thanks ! Philippe Billm April 30th, 2012, 09:42 AM The only speaker I can think of that outperforms the Swamp Thang at both ends of the spectrum is the Electro-Voice EVM-12L. It's much heavier and more expensive. If you have the watts to drive it, a less efficient alternative is the Delta Pro 12A. The top end is brighter than the Swamp Thang and it's exceptionally smooth. You'll just need another notch on the volume to get it to the same loudness. Or you could turn up the treble and/or presence for free. BiggerJohn April 30th, 2012, 01:22 PM Emmi Tonker.

Phil_tre April 30th, 2012, 08:21 PM Ok, I just check this out and both the Swamp and the Tonker have about the same response graph. Would you mind to tell me the characteristic (sound wise) of both ?? I really like the Swamp Thang and I could not imagine my blues Jr with an other speaker but if the Tonker is the same speaker with a bit more high... in the facts, the ST and the Tonker shares the same magnet weight, same voice coil size, same cap size, etc... Thanks for your help !! Philippe TequilaCaster April 30th, 2012, 09:59 PM I'd say "Tonker" as well. It is a brighter Swamp Thang for sure.

I run it with my 5e3. There is no shortage of volume. I think they are the best speaker Eminence makes. |
