If I had to buy one now, I'd buy the Beyma, even though I'm not sure how they sound when they're not broken.

The Eminence just sounded bright and bland to me. The Beyma must have been dropped on it's way to me, and the magnet shifted. This one has a 9 lb magnet alone, and a total weight of 22 lbs. The sealed back design allows for cabinet installation without a separate midrange enclosure. The Eminence Commonwealth guitar speaker is an excellent upgrade or replacement for guitar cabinets. Pyle PDMR5 5' Sealed Back Midrange Speaker Driver The Pyle Pro PDMR5 high performance 5' sealed back midrange is ideal for use in either 2 or 3-way speaker systems where high power handling and efficiency are desired in the midrange frequencies. And this one has flat wire (ribbon, it's called).Īnd this one: US Speaker - Eminence Commonwealth 12 guitar speakers - The Eminence Commonwealth 12 is a 12' guitar speaker similar to the JBL E120.

Incidentally, the Heavy Celestions weigh 10 lbs. The Beyma Liberty 8 has a magnet assembly of 18 lbs so the speaker must be around 12 lbs, and it's total weight is 22 lbs. Beyma Liberty and other Beyma 12' speakers here., This one: Beyma Liberty 12' Guitar Speakers - Beyma Liberty 12' guitar speaker - Beyma Liberty 300 watt 12' guitar speaker for all high quality guitar applications. That's MUCH heavier (400% more) and will give it a much tighter sound, as I understand it. I believe the magnet on a JBL was about 12 or more lbs. Vamp away with Pyles PVAMP series Small package, huge sound. Plug in your headphones when its time to practice quietly. Adjust the gain on the overdrive for that classic blown-out sound. The magnet on the heaviest Celestions (H magnet) is 3 lbs, 2 oz. The PVAMP20 is equipped with a 6' speaker, clean and overdrive channels, and a 3-band EQ for controlling the treble, mid-range, and bass.

The JBL also had a 4' voice coil, much bigger than the 2' of most Celestions and others. I think the massive magnet on a JBL might have added a lot to its tone, and also the coil wire - the wire wasn't round, it was flat. It was not a good sounding speaker in that amp. They both are patterned after a JBL, supposedly. I cant help much, but there was a Pyle Driver in my silverface Deluxe Reverb when I got it about 8 years ago.
