Legend 10" Speakers
LEGEND B102
The best Eminence all-purpose, broad bandwidth, bass guitar speaker! This unit exhibits lots of punch and is great for Pop and Slap Bass, Jazz and Rock'n'Roll. The efficiency of the whizzer cone eliminates the need for a tweeter. This speaker is an ideal replacement or upgrade for bass players.
LEGEND 105
When you need a little extra power, this model is perfect as a general replacement. It has been and continues to be original equipment in many of your favorites. Lots of punch and crunch!
This is Greg Martin's favorite 10". He has them loaded in his Super Reverb! He suggests using this speaker in recording studios as well as in 4X10 cabinets for live gigs. Greg describes the tone as very 'jangly' with a meaty low-end and lots of honk. It would be a perfect speaker for anyone playing Country, Blues, or Rockabilly. This speaker works well with Rickenbacker guitars, a Super Reverb or a Super.
LEGEND 102
Eminence has been producing this ALNICO model for some of the world's finest amplifier manufacturers for years. Even more popular than its ALNICO sister, the 122, this classic lends that warm blues tone that has helped in making many of its users legendary. Like the 12" ALNICO, this speaker was created for lower power, vintage amplifier applications where a
thinner 'Jensen' tone is desired.
Make that old amp new again, or take a new one and make it sound old!
LEGEND BP102
Back by popular demand! The Legend BP102 has been a staple product for many bass guitar wonders over the past 10 years. Eminence has had so many requests for this speaker, we couldn't refuse to put it in our catalog. This is a favorite for 3X, 4X, and 8X10 cabinets! Don't let the sensitivity fool you, this speaker will really punch out the bass with authority. It also works great as a mid in PA applications or in a three-way bass cabinet.
Legend 12" Speakers
LEGEND 121
Warm, rich low end, smooth mids and very loud. Greg Martin tried this speaker in 2X12 applications both in 'The Twin' and with the Marshall Head, using Strat and Les Paul guitars. With a Les Paul and The Twin, the speaker is very mellow before it breaks up. It delivers more high end than the Legend V12 and has more headroom. With a Strat, it is pure Fender! Greg recommends this combination for a 'Traditional Blues' sound and for Jazz, Funk, Country, or other applications where you need a big, fat, clean sound!
In the 2X12 Marshall application, the Legend 121 is exceptionally clear. Greg suggests that this is a good combination for Heavy Metal or rhythm applications where lots of headroom is desired. The Legend 121 is a great replacement or upgrade!
LEGEND V12
Surely a favorite! The V12 exhibits very tight definition along with lots of volume and rich, tonal harmonic balance. A British manufactured cone gives characteristics suitable for many styles.
This is a perfect speaker in high power combos for Jazz and Rock. However, a pair of V12's in 'The Twin' makes for a good rock and blues combination when playing a Les Paul. The speakers have a very 'British' sound but are much more mellow than some British counterparts. When playing a Strat through this set up, it sounds less 'British' -- the tone is smooth and creamy. Great for Country or Jazz if you want that Albert Lee tone.
In Marshall applications, with a Les Paul you can expect a 'Classis British Rock' sound. This speaker is well suited to amps with EL34 tubes. The speaker breaks up relatively quickly and provide a honkin' low end! The tone is reminiscent of Clapton and The Blues Breakers. Plug in a Strat and you can get some of that Texas honk too.
LEGEND GB12
A British-made cone and Eminence technology combined in this model yield super cool definition with lots of punch. This is Greg Martin's favorite speaker! He has four of them in a Marshall cabinet. The GB12 is less muddy and has a tighter top end than original Greenbacks. The improved definition is apparent even when playing with distortion. A Strat, 'The Twin' and a pair of Legend GB12's are awesome together. The low-end is very powerful. When playing clean, the tone is distinctively Country. When playing dirty, it lends an almost eerie Stevie Ray vibe. With a Les Paul, Greg played Clapton, Betts, Gibbons, and BB King styles and all the while the GB12 was producing the classic tones of these legendary artists.
The GB12's performed nicely powered by the Top Hat as well. With a Strat, think early Billy Gibbons. The tone is punchy yet singing when playing way up on the neck. The speakers break up at just the right time. With a Les Paul, hear Duane Allman, Dickie Betts and Cream.
LEGEND 125
Pure Vintage! Used in reissues of some of your favorites. Greg Martin states that this speaker is the epitome of the Great American Rock and Roll tone incorporating the best of standard British and American speaker tonal characteristics. Remember the Doobie Brothers?
In 2X12 applications using 'The Twin' or a Marshall, the speaker has a smooth tone and response curve, but it can really cut through the mix. Superb classic Blues tones prevail. It exhibits less low end than the 121 or the GB12.
This speaker is also an awesome choice for 4X12 cabinets. Eminence highly recommends considering a pair of Legend 125s with a pair of Legend GB12s. This combination makes use of the great top end of the 125 and the great low end of the GB12 for a cabinet with lots of guts! It is perfect for delivering crunchy, southern rock tones or grunge and metal.
LEGEND 122
You've definitely heard this one before! Inspired by the success of the 10" ALNICO (Legend 102), this version gives a 12" alternative. The ALNICO is famous for its warm Bluesy tone. This model is ideal as a replacement or for extending the power handling capabilities in vintage boxes. Expect a much thinner tone and a lot less body from these vintage reissues. These speakers were designed to recreate the 'Jensen' tone from years ago. They make great replacements in lower power vintage amplifiers.
LEGEND Modeling 12
This speaker has been one of the most widely used guitar speakers in the music industry in the past few years. The tone is colored very little by the cone in this speaker making it the perfect choice for any modeling amplifier application. If you want Metal, Rock, Country, Blues, or Jazz, just dial it on your amp and let it do the work. This speaker will answer accordingly!
LEGEND FS12
The Legend FS12 has also made regular appearances in some of your favorite amplifiers. Unlike the Modeling 12, this speaker has a personality all its own. The cone in this speaker comes from one of America's finest cone vendors and represents just how awesome the tone can be from a 100% American speaker! The FS12 works extremely well in 1X12 and 2X12 combos where chorus, phasor, and flange effects are used. Many amplifiers that come with such effects options use this speaker as the standard.
