Eminence getting into the low sensitivity speaker game

[paisleywookiee]

I think I heard around $150, which is not bad at all. I'm excited to try one myself. If I'm bringing my 1x12 to a gig it's probably because volume is an issue (otherwise I'd bring a 2x12 or 4x12) and will have to run the volume on my 50 watt head at around 1.5 to not get guff from the sound guy, which is not ideal. If I can turn up to say 4 or 5 with the Muse then the amp won't be choked down and ideally, I can get a more full tone.

That’s a fair point.

Random thought while reading this…. Is this genuinely just a speaker company trying to drum up new products rather than a solution people were ever asking for? Secondary to that what could a speaker company do to innovate or get new products flying off the shelves?

I genuinely don’t know. Speakers and cabs are expensive to build & ship globally. They take up physical space and output a ton of volume which most people seem to be moving against, it’s a tough industry for them.

I can’t think of anything a speaker company can do but this is the first cab I saw in recent years that I mentally bookmarked and thought…. If I ever have excess funds these will be a purchase to kit out a studio space for visuals, crazy cool. Apart from these the zilla custom cabs of the world are cool you can design your own colours and finish etc, but still $$$

I think they are trying to cater specifically to the crowd who would like to use their tube amps, but soundmen keep asking them to turn down. Electric guitar is a bit annoying instrument when so much of how it sounds is tied to how loud it is - even on modern amp designs. Any amp needs some volume to sound its best.

I think speaker manufacturers could do a lot more to try to showcase what their speakers are best for. "This is a great pairing for darker voiced amps due to its bright tonality" etc.

Like I thought the Eminence Maverick was a great speaker, but I had the wrong amp for it. I replaced the V30 in a Bogner Goldfinger combo with the Maverick and the Bogner is voiced darker as is until you really turn up the treble knob high. Something with head cutting treble would probably sound great with it.
