(Which I would prefer too) And the difference between the Quilter version and the Eminence version is the VOICE COIL and not the dome? The Eminence and the Quilter both have aluminum domes. The difference is the voice coil. If you want the same speaker without the aluminum dome (copper voice coil version) you can find it here: http://tpa-az.com/page11.htm This speaker comes in 12" and 15" and has 4 and 8 ohm versions.

I could have not provided a better backline oh by the way I leave for 4 shows tonight and I will test quilter plus new speaker!!! — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top
morphball Joined: Dec 23, 2008 Posts: 3324 Pittsboro, NC	Posted on Apr 22 2015 11:53 AM This is a very timely thread- I'm currently having a tone ring cab built, and was about to pull the trigger on a Eminence Commonwealth 15", but I'm holding off to hear the report (especially used with your Showman, though I also use a Tone Block sometimes). — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
surferjoemusic Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 2106 Livorno	Posted on Apr 23 2015 07:44 AM alright ok the road finally using my 63 reverb tank + tone block quilter + eminence speaker. the result is very strange to my ear. this speaker is powerful at my back and holds any volume, but it is dark. i kept the tone on the tank at 10 and the tone on the quilter at 10 and still not bright as the jbl. on my jazzmaster i have 1 meg pots. so yes, you can hear a difference. this is where probably the quilter version of the speaker comes in. at the same time and for my previous experiences with solid state amps working with the fender tank, i think the whole set up works better using a reverb pedal rather than an analog tube unit. tonight i will use the topanga with which i can can brighter than the reverb tank enhancing the drip by the way. i will tell you more tomorrow... — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top
morphball Joined: Dec 23, 2008 Posts: 3324 Pittsboro, NC	Posted on Apr 23 2015 08:32 AM Looking forward to more reports, but I think I'm pulling the trigger on the Quilter version, based on Lorenzo's and dannylectro's input, as I mostly plan to run this with a tube head and tank, and would want something as close to a D130F as possible. (I've actually got a separate cab with an EVM 15L that would be used with the Tone Block anyway.) Many, many thanks from both me and my lower back, guys! — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
surferjoemusic Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 2106 Livorno	Posted on Apr 23 2015 08:46 AM man i am also going to use it mostly with showman head and tank, but remember that the original jbls were without the F. i have regulat d130's in my showman cab. and if i play the showman on this eminence it sounds like them! I said i tried the quilter... with the showman i can reach another level of brightness... — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top

I have been experimenting with some older Solid State amps and I find the same thing Lorenzo. My Reverb tank works much better with my tube amps whereas I can get a better, wet drip using a pedal with the solid state amps. Please keep us posted.

morphball Joined: Dec 23, 2008 Posts: 3324 Pittsboro, NC	Posted on Apr 23 2015 09:17 AM Ah, gotcha. It seems one can't go wrong with either one of these then, and there's only a $10 difference for the aluminum voice coil preference (I'm really hesitant about calling it an "upgrade"... it seems the only reason Quilter did this was to warm up pedal steel tones a tiny bit; this is probably negligible with a normal guitar awash in reverb). — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top

It's an amazing speaker. Even better than a real JBL to me. The sound is tighter with less flub in the bass. Top

Those Quilter guys do know something about tone, so I'm sure those tweaks aren't just superficial. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
surferjoemusic Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 2106 Livorno	Posted on Apr 23 2015 02:21 PM ok I am here I still have to play but I have set up quilter and topanga. the result is cold. it is not a prob of the speaker is that there would be needed a preamp like the boss bassman pedal to warm it up. too much stuff plugged in for an anti-pedal user like me so speaker good, all digital bad. need the showman head to be alright. tonight we are in a different kind of location and I do not have the treble lack problems of yesterday. today is sounds brighter. anyway I will play with this all and let you know my opinion. — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top
kick_the_reverb Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 1335 Escondido, CA	Posted on Apr 25 2015 06:23 PM Lorenzo, thanks for the reports. For the seminar - do you happen to have two identical single 15 cabs? That could be used to compare the Eminence to a JBL, assuming you have a known good JBL. Ran — The Scimitars Top
surferjoemusic Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 2106 Livorno	Posted on Apr 25 2015 06:35 PM I have only one 2x15 cabinet so that comparison would be difficult. anyway the speaker in the past 1 days has worked very well. tonight (just finished the show) we were on the mountain, fucking crazy 300 people dancing. fully amplified stage and mega volume but tho only prob I had was with the quilter amp. on some frequencies it does not work alright completely to me, especially when I go on the bridge pickup only let's say "dick dale" style. I am missing the Showman push at my back. but the speaker was great in the end. — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top
