| THE BEST! USA! |
| Sound:
| All good speaker companies' websites give you a "range" to custom taylor your sound. The Texas Heat gives a loud, deep, ummff! Great for blues and "CCR, Southern Rock! |
| Reliability:
| Haven't had it long enough. But I've never heard bad> |
| Overall:
| FIRST, Eminence is AMERICAN made! If you don't like the sound, then you chose the wrong particular speaker. Eminence makes a speaker to cover everything. You just have to make sure your matching what you want. No speaker is going to do it all. The "magical" JBL "D" series did, but good luck finding one of those, and if you do, it won't be $65! Finding one speaker for a one speaker combo is hard to do. |
| Playability and Feel:
| |
| Tone:
| WARM, BLUES, BOTTOM END, SOUTHERN ROCK |
| Finish:
| Neat graffics, but it's a speaker.. |
| Action:
| You have to break it in. It's like a new motor with a new cam, you have to run it and loosin' it up! The more you play on the "Heat" the louder and bottom end it gets. |

| Subject: | good speaker for the price |
| Quality:
| i think its a quality product for its price range |
| Sound:
| the crate v18 is single channel, so i crank the volume all the way up and mess around with the gain. i try to run it as clean as possible (while getting some volume) and us the boss blues driver for some boost and grit. the sound is good for getting a dirty blues tone, which is what the speaker is aiming for... so i am delighted that is works. |
| Reliability:
| i have only been using it for 2-3 weeks for about 1-2hrs a day on average... the speaker handles 150watts and my amp is 18watts so it should hold up for a long long time. |
| Overall:
| upon opening the package i noted that the speaker seemed well built. it was easy to install (Crate V18 amp).the speaker sounds a lot better than the stock speaker. i use it with 2 10' george l's cables, a boss blues driver and a fender telecaster. overall a good way to improve the amp at a good price. |

| Quality:
| As well built as any speaker anywhere near this price. |
| Reliability:
| Fairly new, but track record seem excellent. |
| Overall:
| I replaced a 70 80 in my Palomino V16.
The Celestion is a fine speaker, loud,
bright enough and has a bit more bottom than the Texas Heat.
However, that bottom is a bit loose.
The Texas Heat is cleaner in all aspects with a bit less bottom
but noticably tighter in the bass frequencies.
Overall it is a more musical sounding speaker.
The 70 80 was darker and a bit hollower. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Tight. |
| Tone:
| Spanky, musical but not harshly bright. Just clean and punchy. |
| Finish:
| Well made by appearance. |
| Action:
| Came out of the box just fine. |

| Overall:
| This is my new speaker of choice |
| Playability and Feel:
| N/A |
| Tone:
| Really nice all-aound tone; full and clean, and breaks up nicely on the drive channel. Great for Blues, American Rock and Roll, etc. It has nice chime, good "chunk" as well. The 150-Watt power handling is a nice step up from the original 80-Watt speakers I had previously. |
| Finish:
| Nice finish; scratch-resistant, built to last |
| Action:
| Mounted in my 2x12 easily |
