UK Celestion Vintage 30 vs Stock Eminence Speaker
I’ve had a blues Jr for a while now and realized I never have done a comparison of what it sounds like up against a Blues Jr with a stock Eminence speaker. Becoming so accustomed to how a UK made Celestion Vintage 30 sounds in my Jr, I never would have guessed there was this much contrast between the two speakers.
The Eminence speaker may have it’s applications but my reaction to listening to playback of the recording below was absolute shock that there could be so much difference in a set of paper and drivers. While they both push air, they push them in extremely different ways. The Blues Jr is an amp waiting to be released from its stock speaker — just listen to the difference in the video below.
