Sound: Through a local ad I picked up a SWR Bigfoot 2x12 that was kind of beat up but was structurally sound for $100.00 and when I got it home I quickly found out why it was so inexpensive! The previous owner had replaced the Bag End speakers with not just guitar speakers but CHEAP guitar speakers!! I'd used a friends SWR Bigfoot at rehearsals before so I knew that it was a good cabinet and worth the money I paid alone so i wasn't too upset. I wanted to bring it back to the original specs (500 watts/4 ohms) and found that the Emminence Betas would do just that so I picked up two and couldn't be happier. I'm no audiophile but to my ears they sound great. Nice bottom end with plenty of thrust. Please keep in mind that I play mostly classic rock and don't slap much so I really haven't pushed the higher end to it's limits but again, in my opinion, the clarity is excellent. I could have chosen more expensive , higher wattage speakers but my 350 watt Ampeg head would not have been able to drive them efficiently. For me their a 10. Feature: The only features I was concerned about here were the specs and being sure that they were a good match for my Ampeg B2R. Mission accomplished. Ease of Use: This was the first time I'd ever changed speakers in a cabinet and the only challenge I had was due an issue with the cabinet. Very easy installation......even for me. Quality: Emminence appears to have a great reputation and the speakers themselves look to be of excellent quality. I haven't had them long but as long as I don't abuse them I'm confident they will last. Value: Not only did these speakers return the cab to it's original specs, but they were also among the most affordable 12" speakers that I was able to find. Great value!! Overall: Overall.... a great purchase. I now have a great sounding SWR cab and have shelled out less than $300.00 dollars for the whole project. Zzounds had pretty much the same price as other retailers but the free shipping sealed the deal for me and I was very surprised when I got e-mails for both order confirmation and confirmation that they had shipped on the same day!! Thank you Zzounds!!

"Amazing bass from Eminence!" submitted March 20, 2011

Sound: Replaced bass in a set of Studio Monitor speakers connected to NAD amp. Superb sound: clear, crisp at any volume. Much depends on a quality amp so, if you're thinking upgrade, consider the whole package to get the most out of Eminence speakers. Overall: No past experience with Eminence but researched the heck out of replacing bass before I settled on these. From what I learned, Beta's should last many years and they were a breeze to swap out the existing speakers. All it took was a screwdriver and in ten minutes I was listening to great music.
