Re: Favourite 12" for DR
The Fender "Special Design" yellow label speaker (which is an Eminence 1258 but with a lesser 50W power handling capacity) is great for a DR. It is efficient and has tight, slightly subdued bass. Ants, I can lend you one to try.

Re: Favourite 12" for DR
Ive ordered a Eminence Maverick 12" from live sound that they were listing for $250.
Rob pointed it out. I have to say ive never seen one of these before. Seems like a really great take on attenuation, but not the same as a standard attenuator.
From the interwebs these speaker do not “attunate” in the normal sense of the word. Real attenuators generally add compression, roll off high end, get muddy, etc. The Emi FDM technology avoids these factors and allows the volume to be reduced with a knob on the rear if the speaker that moves the magnet to adjust the sensitivity of these speakers from 99-91. But they don’t add compression, cut high end, etc. They’re different - better - than an attenuator for this reason"
Wonder if anyone has experience with one of these speakers. They do get good reviews online.

Re: Favourite 12" for DR
My next thought it rigging up a 4x12 cab with a selector to enable to quick switching 12" speaker shootout. Or even some weird 6 cut out franken-cab...
Speakers I have/will have to compare:
Eminence allessandro ga-SC64
Eminence Maverick
Jensen Jet Tornado neo
Jensen Jet Blackbird neo
Jensen c12n
JBL D120F

Re: Favourite 12" for DR
Looking forward to your opinion of the Maverick. I've wondered about these.

Was that the last one in stock at livesound? They were discontinued ages ago. Didn't realise they had one. Good find.
I wanted the British version but would give the american one a hoon too.

Re: Favourite 12" for DR
I have 2x Creamback M65's in my cab with my Deluxe Reverb head - love the sound. Subdues the shrill and slightly evens out the Fender blackface mid-scoop thing, which I like. Definitely not a 'trad' approach, though.
