Great Professional Speaker
I bought mine several weeks ago, hoping it would be a very close match to my EVM12L speakers, I was not disappointed. Last night I mounted the Legend EM12 right next to my EVM12L Classic in my '77 Fender Twin Reverb. All I can say is WOW! To my ears, this is a perfect match-up. I knew running these speakers would make this old amp ungodly heavy. But the tone coming out of this amp now, brings back what I used to hear years ago when I would crank up the clean Country tones on my Telecaster/Twin Reverb setup. This is a great speaker and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the "Real Deal" in sound, quality and reliability.

Excellent guitar speaker
Got a 2x12 empty cab from eminence and put in this em12 and a delta pro 12a. I'm using a fender deville iv combo. I bypassed the internal speakers and plugged in the cab to the main speaker input on the amp. Both are 8 ohm and wired to 4ohm to match the amps output. The celes type a that came with the combo degraded after 300 plus hours of play. (I will say those type a's did sound nice until they broke in. There was never a good sweat spot for the mid spectrum even with my mxr eq.) After break in it just got worse, Flabby bass, not much mid definition and very ice pick like highs. I play heavy, grunge, rock and clean. Palm mutes are unreal. Distortion, overdrive chord definition with my od ( I keep my od pedal a secret) and boss ds1x are very defined and articulate across the spectrum. Power chords, bends, slides, hammers, arpeggios, etc all up and down the board are so clear and accurate regardless of clean, od, distortion, flanger etc. It has really opened up my boss waza delay all across the sound spectrum as well. This change has made my fender amp open up and sound great. Very defined lows that punch, warm mids that are audible and highs that don't pierce your ears. I play drop c and d standard on an esp e2 horizon and an older ltd ec1000 and use a wound 3rd. All my puckups are seymore duncan sentient and Pegasus. My pedals are a mix of boss and electro harmonix with an mxr 10 band eq. Hope this helps anyone looking for speaker replacement. On a side note, sweetwater doesn't stock 2x12 empty cabs. So you'll have to build or find one. Like I said in the beginning I was able to luck out and buy one from eminence speakers website but there are so many out there so happy hunting. Cheers!

SLAM DUNK
Loaded in a closed back 112, this driver is bold and authoritative! Excellent clarity under gain. It gives the sort of dynamic feedback that makes you want to keep playing. It's heavy, but not as much as the other cast frame speakers. You may have to get longer mounting screws as the frame is about a half inch thick around the cone.

Fantastic option for big power handling
After a lot of research, I chose this speaker for 1 of 2 single large 1x12 cabinets that's being pushed by a 200 watt amp. I wanted to make sure that I had enough power handling without ever having to worry about pushing a voice coil too hard. The challenge is finding a speaker that can handle some power without sounding completely flat at low volumes. This speaker fit the bill nicely. I found the speaker to be much much flatter in response than the V30 speaker it replaced, with a nice warm, smooth bottom end that seems to be able to dip a bit deeper in frequency, and a gentle but pleasant greenback style mid. It does flatten out for very little bit at low volume but I have never found it to be too flat or unusable. It's still fairly new and absolutely not broken in all the way, but it only gets richer and smoother as time goes on. At the moment it's pairing beautifully with a V30 or even better with a scumback M75.

Its installed in a large volume cabinet, and I found it richer and slightly deeper with the back open.

Killer EV12L substitute
I bought one of these second hand a few months ago, and I'm pretty impressed to say the least. I love my Celestions and other lower powered speakers, but I've been tempted to try something like the EM12 for a long time now. Well, it has exceeded my expectations.

It is very clean, and very efficient. You can pump just about any conventional guitar amp under the sun into it, and it won't break a sweat. Nicely balanced tone wise, as it has plenty of bass & low mids, but a bit of an upper mids spike to keep things from getting too dark. Everything evens itself out.

I see why metal guys love these speakers, amongst others. It takes anything and everything I throw at it without flubbing out. It is definitely "tight" for lack of a better word. Besides the weight, I have no complaints about it.
