Sound:
The Legend has a very full and smooth tone. It made the amp sound a little creamier.
Reliability:
The speaker is made in the USA and looks to be made very well.
Overall:
I put this speaker in my VHT Special 6. It made a noticeable improvement in an amp that already sounded very good.

Eminence Legend 1058 10" guitar speaker
Quality:
Appears to be well made
Reliability:
Only have had it for a few weeks. Eminence speakers last decades though.
Overall:
Great sounding speaker at a low price. Has gaskets on the front AND back, so it can easily be front loaded or back loaded. Rubber ring around ceramic magnet seems like a great idea to protect from chipping magnet or prevent iron junk stuck to it. 8 mounting holes instead of just 4 give more mounting-clocking options.
Playability and Feel:
"Feels" like a standard 10" speaker.
Tone:
Nice and bright but not spikey. Good response from bass to treble. Replaced a dull sounding speaker in a Mesa Subway Rocket. This really made the amp clear and articulate instead of its previous muffled and dull sound. The seamed 5-inverted-rib cone with no surround doping is what makes this sound so nice. Other speakers I have used had heavy surround doping that really damped out the treble response. Just say nope to dope!
Do you own this product?:
Yes, I own two because I was so pleased with the first.
