Eminence Delta 15LF Speaker (500 Watts, 15")

Eminence Delta 15LF Speaker (500 Watts, 15"), 8 Ohms, Side

The Delta 15LF speaker's high Xmax -- maximum linear excursion -- means the woofer moves farther, delivering more bark for a beefier, more satisfying sound.

Overview

Eminence LF models are specially designed with extended Xmax to deliver more bass than standard models and provide 'a true woofer' for three-way applications. Performance optimized for high power bass in sound reinforcement systems, bass guitar combos, club music systems and stage monitors.

Important Note

Watts: The guaranteed long term power rating throughout the usable frequency range of the speaker.

(Translation: the speaker will operate continuously at any frequency within the speakers specified frequency range when driven at this power. The "Watts" rating is similar to RMS, but is really more indicative of long term thermal capability.)

Music Program: The speaker will safely and reliably handle the varying frequencies of musical content at this power rating. The "Music Program" rating is more indicative of what you can expect in the real world with the speaker operating within the appropriate enclosure reproducing music or vocal audio program.

I put one of these Eminence Delta 15LFA speakers in a 1974 Fender Bassman 2x15 cabinet, along with a JBL M115-8A. I ordered the 15LF, but received the 15LFA. The Eminence driver is heavy, well-built in the U.S.A. and has a fat, powerful low end for bass guitar. Some say my cab is a dog. Not so, Loud and Full! Awesome! Get One!
