eminence guitar speaker comparison
It is no secret; musicians are a very unique group of people. Guitarists remain on a lifetime quest for individuality and the ultimate tone; always searching for the ideal guitar, amplifier, effects units, pickups, strings, speakers, and even cables.

The most overlooked tool in the tone toolbox is the loudspeaker. Nothing short of changing amplifiers or guitars can make such a difference in your tone.

The guitar speaker is the last element in the tone chain delivering your sound to the audience. It has an overwhelming impact on your overall coloration, articulation, low-end, midrange, highs, shape and extension, and ability to cut through any mix. The speaker can offer you a deep, rich mellow flavor, an articulate, percussive and driving clean sound, or a growling, howling guitar on fire. In conjunction with your rig and your style, it provides a tonal palette that only you can imagine. The following comparison tables will give you some insight on what speaker is right for you.
