zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Set your tone free. The 8-inch hemp cone of the Patriot speaker pushes out a thick sound full of punchy lows and warm-yet-defined highs and mids.

Overview

Featuring a hemp cone, 1" voice coil and lightweight 15 oz. ceramic magnet, the 4 ohm Eminence 820H Patriot Guitar Speaker offers a rich, warm, full bodied tone that emulates a larger cone, with fat, punchy lows, smooth, but defined highs, and a nice break up. The 820H also offers prominent mids, but with a warm, smooth texture.

"There are a lot of 8" amplifiers on the market, but very few have a speaker capable of delivering quality tone." said Anthony Lucas, Eminence tech support specialist. "The 820H sounds nearly like a 10" speaker and doesn't break up too early or fall apart like other 8" speakers I've heard. It could enhance the tone in any suitable amplifier on the market, and is actually the first 8" speaker I've ever heard that I consider worthy of putting in something like a vintage Fender Champ."

Wasn't really sure what to expect from this speaker. I have a cannibas Rex, and liked that. I have a bugera v5, newer version, with turbo sound speaker. The turbo sound speaker sounds good, but still have this v5 that "boxy" sound that's synonymous with the v5. Enter the 820h. Smooth in the highs, good full lows... Didn't say great, but definitely good. Mids are smooth as well, even brought to the front a lil. I read where this speaker performs closer to the size of a 10" speaker. That's hard to understand, by reading that. I will explain it this way. The sound coming out of this speaker absolutely fills the room more than the stock speaker. It's noticeable, right away. Just a bigger, Fuller sounds. Water thru a straw vs water thru a garden hose. Very good lil speaker.
