Eminence Delta 10B

I have a 2x10 cabinet with two of these speakers. They are 350W, 16 ohms, with 56 oz. magnets! Heavy duty. They're woofers, designed for low end but with a decent frequency range. I've used this cab for keyboards bass and guitar. I haven't been able to push them out of their range yet!

I think they sound quite good. They sound great with my Alesis Micron keyboard. I've used a few power amps & heads with it. It handles the output of the synth really well, and handle high volume really well. They sound kinda blah at bedroom levels, but when you push them they stay clear and don't fart out or crease. At least not that I have experienced. I used them with my guitar rig and a Sunn concert lead head, which has something like 210 watts. I was able to turn it up to about 5 before it was just too loud to be near even with earplugs. But I was watching the speakers too, to see if they started to warp at all, and I saw no sign of any such thing. They sounded OK with bass, I never had a chance to go full-out with it though. But that's what they're designed for, at least partly, so I'd imagine they sound just as good.

The synth parts I've played with these have some pretty booming bass, and the Micron has a built in drum machine, and they handle the rhythms really nicely, which involves a pretty dynamic frequency range. For what they're supposed to do, I think they're great. Not too $$$, I never use enough wattage to damage them. Only problem is how heavy they are! I have a 2x12 that weighs less than these two in a 2x10. but that does make it hard to knock over or steal, so...

These are probably the most reliable speakers I own right now. Well-built, from what I can tell, and Eminence is a great company to deal with, from my experience.

Haven't had to for these, but I've dealt with Eminence before, and they're very friendly and reasonable.

Overall, I'd give them an 8.5, so I'll round up to a 9. I find that my cab with these two puppies is very useful, very utilitarian. I can use it to supplement anyone I have over to practice, pretty much whatever instrument they're playing. And they're great extension speakers for live gigs. I use this cab with a 50W 1x12 tube combo sometimes. It's a really bright amp, but these speakers add some nice low and lower mid end into the mix, and really add some thump and kick to the sound. For practice and live playing, I usually play synth through the PA, but when I do use a power amp, I always pair it with this cab, and it always sounds just as good or better than a PA.

In order to get that massive bass thump, in my opinion, you really need a couple of 15"ers. But for what I do, these are great. I haven't gotten a distorted (accidentally, anyway) or crapped out sound out of them in, what now, about 3 years of pretty solid, constant use. I recommend the Delta 10Bs to anyone who has a similar setup as I do!
