I just installed this speaker in my 2x12 combo amp and I'm very impressed. When I replace the other speaker, I'll go to Eminence again.

The Man O War is very similar to the Celestion GT12-75. Why pay for overpriced Celestions when these sound just as good?

Also, I contacted Eminence with some questions before I bought this and they got back to me really fast with all the info I needed and they were really nice.

I chose this to pair with a Texas Heat for the D***le style amp I just built. I can't say enough about it. The amp has a unique "vocal" quality and this, paired with the Texas Heat, sound amazing. Tight bass with no overwhelming boominess. Perfectly smooth midrange and a bright top end. The mids are the defining character of these beauties. They perfectly comliment the quality of the amp's voice like "singing" midrange. I had Celestions of varying models to try but not one of them came close to the quality of construction and were very "cheap" sounding by comparison. I am a 26+ year, performing veteran of bar, festival and fair shows, as well as building and repairing tube amps. I wish I would have found these years ago.

Tight bottom with big gain crunch!!!

I dropped this speaker into a Peavey Valveking 112 and it transformed a lower end tube amp into a high-gain metal monster! The stock VK speaker is dark and muddy with no clarity with high gain. The Man o War has everything you could want! Super clear highs, but can be piercing at times which isn't a problem if you have an EQ, but the mids are pristine and the bottom end is huge, tight and crunchy! There's also a VERY noticeable volume boost! If you want a great Metal sound you want this speaker!

Crushing Metal Tones!!

First I would like to say thanks to Eminence for creating these awesome speakers! I replaced the 4 speakers I had in my custom built birch cabinets and the "new sound" was simply amazing. I was well pleased by the sound of distortion with "full" bottom and surprised that no matter how much gain or bass input I used, the clarity stayed. The clean sounds were also phenomenal , and I really enjoyed "tweaking" in my own sound choices. No matter what effect or how much drive I used, the end result was always clean and shimmering or punchy and brutal. A serious "horns up" to the Man O War speakers, like the metal band of the same name, they kill!

I bought these to replace the weak stock speakers in the Marshall MG cabinet. Playing out of the Line 6 Spidervalve head....These speakers are awesome, they will not let you down. I researched these speakers and found hardly any reviews but after looking at the spec sheet, they are almost the exact same as the Celestions but better in every aspect. I purchased them with low expectations because how is it possible there's a better speaker out there than the Celestions for wayyyy cheaper, They blow those things out of the water. The magnets on these things are massive, the only downfall to the speakers are heavy they are and that's not even a problem LOL!
