Re: Eminence V12 speaker your thoughts?

Matt	Re: Eminence V12 speaker your thoughts? I put one in a homemade closed-back 2x12 but the other speaker is not a V12 (it's actually one of the Carvin British Series speakers that were made by Eminence). I have cranked my 50-watt Plexi through this cab and haven't noticed any cone cry. I ended up selling several Webers that I had tried because I couldn't stand the cone cry (even though they sounded great otherwise). I agree that it is a bit "honky" in the mids which is why I paired it with a speaker that has good bass but not excessive/extended highs. I'm a big fan of mixing speakers but maybe that's because I can never seem to find ONE speaker that I really love. HTH Matt
