But seriously in the 60's-80's celestions were arguably the best speaker for rock guitars. Back then you would buy eminence if you couldn't afford Celestions.

Anyway 2 years ago I bought a 2x12 from Avatar with vintage 30's. When he shipped it he screwed up and sent 2 eminence by accident. I had no idea at first. When I plugged in I was like wow these sound better than my real vintage 30's from the 60's which I think are actually 30 watts. I ended opening the cab up one day and was shocked to see they were not vintage 30's but Eminence legends

I still like my vintage celestion 30's and greenbacks but the new ones are not as good as the oldies
Eminence makes some good stuff. But like all companies I'm sure they have some crap too
Hey Allen, Have you heard the Warehouse Guitar speakers to be able to really compare?
Just curious about hands on comparisions.
Cause checking out prices, if the WGS come anywhere near the hype (especially about being a lot closer to original Celestions timbre than anything else) the bang for the buck ratio is pretty hard to ignore...


Hey Wes, on a side note, I was checking out the Weber handwired amp kits. Have you ever messed with one of those?
