Eminence-made Herald drivers OK for guitar?
Maybe I was too trigger happy. I snapped up these 12" speakers with the intention of using them for a 2x12 sealed guitar cabinet. The EIA code is definitely Eminence. The metallized dustcap and folded paper surround certainly looks like the speakers Emi was making for musical instrument amps at the time.
That is no assurance that in other respects the speakers are built like MI drivers. They could be heavier coned, or with a more compliant suspension, or different gap or excursion or what have you.
I emailed the numbers to support at Eminence but it was too late to get an answer. I posted about them on the Gear Page but there was no response. So now it will be a horse race between receiving the speakers and receiving the reply from Eminence.
But just to get an idea what I'm getting I thought I'd see if these ring a bell with anybody at AK.
