Hi All
I'm new to the community so this question may have been covered before.

Has anyone heard an Eminence Legend 1218? I'd like to replace the stock "special design" in my Blues Deluxe. It's not bad, but I'd like a bit more bottom and overall warmth, with some chime retained on the top.

I play everything from blues to classic rock, to very clean folk using an acoustic simulation pedal. (not great, but rest of the band won't tolerate guitar changes). USA mahogany Strat with JB in Bridge. Standard singles in neck and middle.

Thanks in advance.

If I am not mistaken, the Fender special design speakers are Eminence Legends (ex. the gold label are Legend 1258s).

Yes the fellow who mods Blues Jrs. believes they are as well, "The speaker is made by Eminence and it’s roughly equivalent to the Legend 125/1258." Which Eminence describes as subdued in the bass, and aggressive in the highs.
Subdued in the bass, and aggressive in the highs seems like another way of saying shrill ;-)

That is why I was wondering about the 1218, which Eminence describes as aggressive & fat in the bass, and moderate in the highs. But that is their description. I wanted to know if anyone here had used the 1218
