Your general opinion of this product.
I built a cabinet and paired this with a Swamp Thang for my Vibro Champ XD. Wow, my friend with a vintage super reverb told me, those sound really great. I play an Ovation acoustic electric trough it and it sounds great. Selling the acoustic amp. The 5 watts drive these nicely and it gets way loud.

They seem to be very well made. They mounted nicely and wiring was easy.

Excellent, made in the USA, never seen or heard a defective Eminence unit.

It's a speaker, it handles 150w.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Best speaker for high gain metal, period. Smooths out any nasty grit from those chinese tube heads, kills the ice pick and most of the fizz too.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Mid range punch, no ice pick, low on the fizz meter. May seem a bit dark until you learn how to EQ them. Best when pushed hard with massive wattage, but very usable at low volume as well. Clipping from a 6505+ just rips through everything.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Very nice paint or powder coat, solid in all regards.

These are VERY well made in every respect. The paint is flawless, the labels look cool, and they come in a nice box. No complaints.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've had mine for about 7 years and they have been very reliable. I've played with this amp with the Texas Heats in it outside, inside, and even in the rain. For about four of the seven years I had to transport the amp quite a bit and the speakers have stood up to all that moving and difference in environment with no problems at all.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
These Texas Heats are AMAZING! I bought two of them about 7 years ago to replace the stock speakers in my Fender FM212. I was looking for a warmer, fuller-range sound, and these were just what I was looking for. I'm now thinking of buying a few more for my 2x12 cabinet and my 4x12 cabinet as well. LOVE 'EM!!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Very responsive and clear. No issues, and they're tuned for human ears unlike some other speakers I've heard that sound like an ice pick in your eardrums!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Not really annoyingly bright (like the stock speakers they replaced) and not muddy. Just warm and clear perfect sound. I always thought the Vintage 30's sounded very dark and muddy. Celestion Rocket 50's, though considered lesser speakers than the V30s sounded better IMO, but Texas Heats sound WAY better than either of those. You can really crank them too and they sound great at all volume levels.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Perfect paint on the frames and cool logos that draw your attention to them. Holes in the frame matched the stock holes of the Fender Special Design perfectly. Had them in and working in 10 minutes. They were also packed in a nice box with molded foam all around them and arrived in perfect condition.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The Texas Heats pick up every note and nuance of crystal clear tones of single coil Strat all the way up to heavily distorted double humbuckers with no problems at all. You really don't even have to fuss with the EQ a lot either. They are very forgiving.
