Eminence Li'l Texas 12-inch

Neodymium magnet, super lightweight.

I personally love the sound of Eminence's neo speakers. They aren't harsh/brittle. They are very effecient, so be prepared for a volume boost if you are coming over from a Greenback or other lower sensitivity speaker.
I have found that it handles just about every style I've thrown at it well. It's very articulate, and doesn't mask your sound. Your amp and guitars tone will shine through.
Clean sounds are very good, and it handles distortion (up to metal level) without losing focus or getting muddy.

no issues with any eminence yet..

haven't had to deal with support yet

I've been playing for about ten years now, and have owned more gear than I can shake a stick at. I recently moved to a rack setup, and am using this with a Mesa 20/20, Rocktron Piranha, ADA MP-1, Furman, Pedals etc etc. I put this in a custom built cab from D??SEN, and couldn't be happier with the tone. Most people don't realize how much influence just your cab and speaker have. I'll hang on to this setup

Neodyminum magnet, stamped steel basket. Light weight at 3.5 pounds. I bought it to reduce the cary weight of my amp. Replacing the speaker reduced the weight of the amp by 7 pounds. It makes a difference when you have outdoor gigs and have to carry across grass. Loading it into the trunk is easier on my 57-year old back.

Lil Texas 12-inch speaker installed in Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. I'm very pleased with the sound. I pulled the stock Jensen (which wasn't bad)and put in the L'il Texas. It's louder (I was hoping for a little less efficiency so I could turn the volume past 4) and it sounds really great. I play rhythm in a band doing mostle "classic 60-70's" rock covers. I play clean with a Dan-Echo set very light in the mix, occasional chorus, and a clean boost pedal. I own a bunch of guitars but current favorites are Fender Custom Telecaster FMT HH with the Seymour Duncans (read my review) and a Music Man Silhouette HSH. I haven't tried pushing this speaker to breakup, but find that it has nice articulation playing clean. Are these people who claim to be running their amps at 8 to 10 the same ones who write letters to Penthouse telling about adventures of their enormous cocks? If I'm running 5 on my amp, I'm overpowereing the drummer.

It's a speaker. It's appears to be well made by a reputable company. I've gigged it 4 times without backup and will continue to do so. My bass player has his Ampeg and doesn't want to plug into my Deluxe. I don't play cranked. I'm not likely to blow it. It's in a tube amp that I take care of. It should outlast its owner.

No dealings with the company, but they did send along a couple of very nice guitar picks in the "case candy".

I started playing as a teen in the 60's but lost interest in college and put the guitars in the closet. 4 years ago, I pulled them out, discovered Ebay and found some other players to jam with. We've been a band for 3-1/2 years now. I have a '69 Fender Super Reverb, 86 Fender Concert 2x10, the new 65 DRRI with the L'il Texas speaker. Guitars run the gamut from a Gibson 335 Studio, Schecter Semi-hollow 6 and 12's, G&L ASAT Special (Like a tele), a home-built strat with Warmoth neck and S-D pickups, and the aforementioned Tele and Silhouette.

I'm finding the Emminence L'il Texas to be a great speaker, but I'm not the world's toughest critic. It sounds good to me in the Deluxe Reverb. I actually wish it was less efficient (instead of more efficient than the stock Jensen) so I could get some more vibe out of my power tubes.

Though I'm not A/B-ing the speaker with a set of headphones on a direct out, I feel that it does a very good job of accurately reproducing the input it receives (within it's frequence range). I haven't noticed any peaks or vallys in the response, which means that I don't have a critical ear or the speaker has a reasonably flat response curve.

What sets this speaker apart is the light weight and the fact that it sounds as good as any other moderately priced speakers. I wouldn't put it up against a big EV-L or a JBL, but if I had to carry the amp myself, I might pull those speakers and put in L'il Texans.
