I purchased a Big Ben for a re-cabbed Blues Junior. It makes that amp sound big. Overdrive sounds sing. Clear tones sound great. What this speaker doesn't give you is annoying treble. Don't buy if you are treble deaf. Do buy if you like a full BIG tone.

I am using 2 of these in open back cabs. I have used them for about a year, to my ears they have a very big open round sound. very heavy bottom which I love and thick mids and the top is just enough. I am feeding them with there rated rms 225watts and they seem to take it the power well. I am so happy with them that I want to get 2 more and have 4 1x15 cabs. just a great tone from this speaker. Just great speaker and I dont understand why more people dont use 15" guitar speakers instaed or 10's or 12's.

Buy a pair you will love them.

Eminence 15" 8 ohm guitar speaker, I replaced my peavey speaker with the Big Ben. We all seem to think about guitars, pickups,strings,amps and effects. The SOUND comes from the speakers and it is such a important part and sometimes over looked part of the big picture. This is a outstanding and great sounding speaker.

If you're looking for a smooth response and high end chime and sparkle, this speaker isn't for you. What you do get is smooth highs (tames the twang on bridge pickups), pronounced midrange bite and thunderous lows only a 15 can produce. I don't think this speaker does country well, but sounds great through a drive channel. Sounds alot like the old JBL D130 from the 60's. (Isn't JBL American?)
