Anybody try any of these yet? What's good for 80's metal, Megadeth etc. Amp is an XTC

Re: Eminence

My rhythm guitarist has Blue Tick Hounds in his Marshall 4x12, and they sound awesome. Really mean and compressed, great for metal. They don't have that midrange bump that a lot of speakers have, so you can get that thick metal crunch without scooping all the mids out your amp.

Re: Eminence

That sounds cool but I would be a bit concerned about the compression in tandem w/ the obscene compression to be found in an XTC....the lack of a mid hump sounds good though.

Re: Eminence

Nah, they breathe real well when you clean them up. They respond to gain really well. You can actually use less gain--which means more definition--with these things, and still sound mean.

I have a VHT 4x12 that has P50E's in them that are built by Eminence. I just picked this last weekend so I haven't opened it up but it sounds nice at low to moderate volumes. I now have a matching 4x12 for my 50CL [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Eminence

You like it better w/ the CL than the Bogner cab? How does your XTC sound through it?

Re: Eminence

El Bastardo is VERY happy with the ones he has recently picked up. Maybe He'll chime in after seeing the thread.

I honestly don't know just yet as it is too new to me [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] My first impressions are that it is on the same par as the Bogner cab (with the CL head anyways). I haven't tried the XTC with it yet. Its a front loaded cab that looks to be the exact same size as the Bogner cab. I do know its a keeper [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Eminence

I'd try the V12s, kinda like the V30s Megadeth use, but with less annoying midrange and high end fuzzyness.
