Eminence Professional Series Delta-Pro-12A 12" Pro Audio Speaker, 400 Watts at 8 Ohms

Update: After one year and 350 hours of play time this is my speaker. I think mine has brightened up some since I first made the purchase. Don't judge this speaker right away. It takes a long time to break in. I will be getting one more for stereo sound. Guitar sounds really good clean and with distortion. Can be used for keys too. I have tried this against a EVM12L and the Eminence EM12. It is very similar to both of them. For metal or additional high and mids mix with a V30 or similar in a 2x12; it really adds the heavy to your tone.Original Post:Speaker seems well built, a little heavier, but not much. I really don't notice the extra five pounds. I just finished playing the Delta Pro for about 4 hours. Thing can move some air. Bass and drums sounded really good for the brief time I played recorded music with it, though I will be mostly using this with guitar. I have always wanted to try a EVM12L, but the price, no. I am using the Delta in a 1x12 Mesa Boogie recto sealed cab. Amplifier is a Mesa Boogie Stereo 2:Fifty. So far so good, sounds great, really clear sound.Speaker is really good with guitar, but not great. With some amps I can see not being able to cut through the mix live, though for loud practice or solo this would be great. Delta has a lack of high end when compared a matching cabinet with a Celestion V30. I have to turn up the presence quite a bit to get the Delta to match the high end of the V30. Over all I like the Delta more than the V30, the Delta is clearer, sounds seem more defined and detailed, no muddy sound where you don't want them. I never really liked the V30 when that is only speaker. Overall I think the Delta Pro will be a keeper for me when mixed with another speaker. I think I will try matching it with the Eminence EM12, or may keep the V30; I was surprised how well the the Delta mixes with the V30.

Excellent speakers

Great replacement for woofers in Hersey HIP Industrial. Sound wonderful.

I put this in a 1973 Fender twin reverb I was restoring. This is a real bad boy with clarity, power handling and mass. I could not have done better and the price was even better. It compares well to the Cerwin Vega that it sits beside and makes a deadly combination. My amp sound better than new. Highly recommended.

I built a cabinet that is like a Mesa-Boogie Theile cabinet. The design is available on line from Electro-voice. The speaker sounds great and is half the cost of the EV design.

Replace a Bag End woofer after 20 years with this. Almost wish I had blown it years earlier. This is a terrific woofer.

This driver has awesome sound. Also the build quality is immediately apparent. I installed it in a Carvin 12" powered floor monitor, 400 watt, and it vastly improved the sound quality.

Fantastic speakers! Best sounding guitar speakers I've ever tried.
