I bought one of these babies to upgrade from the stock speaker in my Fender amp. Much louder and clearer than the stock speaker. Sounded kinda harsh and "bitey" at first but after an hour or so the edge smoothed out and the bottom end came around. After break in my amp sounds MUCH better than it did before,my leads cut thru the mix very nicely without being harsh and brittle sounding,and the bottom end is nice and round but still punchy and clear. I am not saying this is the BEST speaker out there, but it definately is one of the best for the money.This is an awesome upgrade from a stock speaker.

I just bought two of the Eminence Patriot Texas Heat 12" 150W guitar Speakers. I loaded them into a custom cab that I built and topped it off with a Marshall JCM 900 High gain Dual reverb head. It was very clear and bright. I was able to hear every note and able to get a lot of crunch and rumble when I kicked on the overdrive. Great speakers for the price.

I have one of these in a Fender Blues Jr amp and I'm very pleased with it. Very clean and articulate. I play country and rockabilly and this fits the bill very well.

I bought one of these used to replace the blown Celestion in my Marshall VS65R. Excellent sound quality, perfect for the electric bottleneck that I play. Lots of headroom, also, definatly louder than the old speaker. Would highly recommend it for the blues/boogie style that I play.

I have a Marshall JCM2000 with EL34's and an old Peavy 4x12 cabinet. I play LP's Ibanez and Telecaster's. After spending much time reading reviews and mulling over the Eminence tone chart I went with two Texas Heat and two Governor's to give it a full balanced flavor. Wanted some good crunch/bite but still clarity. I had to special order in the T/Heats from my local store but they had the Govnr's in stock. The Governor has alot of attack and bite to it. Adding these T/heats brought in a great low end sound that was missing. I am writing this review mostly to help others with similar music style's to let them know these will sound great. I found it hard to find similar musical taste reviews and was unsure how the end result would sound for my style. Musical influences: SNFU, Good Riddance, Propagandhi, Rage against the Machine, QOTSA, Alexisonfire, Nomeansno, Slayer etc. I play standard tunings, drop d, and C tunings.

Obviously compared to my 20 year old stock cabinet speakers they are worlds apart. The change in tone is unreal, my sound is not muddled and lacking punch and clarity like it was before. I'm now finally happy with the sound of my Marshall (was never really impressed with it even after the tube change) I've never tried any other speakers so I can't say that they're the end all of speakers compared to "X" brand etc.

Very happy with the sound of these speakers! Great sounding speaker for a great price!
