Legend 1518 15" Guitar Speaker, 150 Watts at 8 Ohms

This speaker is really special. I got it as a replacement for my Boss Katana MKII, and it brought new life to that affordable amp. Sound: The sound resists speaker breakup like a pro. This is a really good thing for playing multiple styles at loud volume levels. With this speaker, you will ALWAYS get a transparent and honest sound production, and the speaker always stays balanced. The entire frequency range is smooth and musical. The lows are clear and balanced, the mids are present and focused, and the highs are smooth with nice dimension and detail. None of the frequencies are going to rear their ugly head *at all*. It's really remarkable, because you can focus on your playing, and you can have confidence that your amp will speak in a reliable way. There is a maturity to this speaker. If you want that classic british rock tone, and you have an all valve amp, you might prefer other speakers; however, no other speaker will rival this one for balance and sonic transparency. You CAN get a great british rock tone from this speaker, so I'm not saying this as a con. I'm only saying that there are other speakers on the market, even from Eminence, that specifically capture that all-valve British sound. If you aren't trying to go for that, then the Legend speaker is basically the best of the best, and you should buy it. Value for the money: This produces INCREDIBLE sound for the price of a nice guitar pedal (not that much cost for what you're getting). It will be a *work horse* speaker for years and years, serving a variety of styles and sounds. If you have a modeling amp that can produce many sounds, this speaker will treat you very well, especially if you need your amp to sit in a mix against a loud drummer/bassist. Many other speakers become exposed for their weaknesses when you put them up against a full band mix. Not the Legend. If you have a 2x12 cabinet, and you get two of these Legend speakers, you will have an amp that SLAYS and never fails you. I personally am using a single Legend speaker right now, and even that has so much impact sonically. Light Weight: Okay, this IS on the heavier side, but I could NOT rate this amp any less than 5 stars, in any category. It's too good. If you have a 2x12 amp, then two Legend speakers WILL add weight to your amp; however, if you have a 1x12, then the weight is not bad depending on your amp. My Boss Katana MKII, with a single 12" Legend speaker, is not heavy. This speaker is only heavier compared to your average stock speaker, but the sound and response is so much better than any stock speaker. The weight category gets 5 stars, because the weight is still manageable and the incredible sound JUSTIFIES the extra weight. The materials and design of the speaker are really durable and reliable. How could I consider the somewhat higher weight to be a con? 5 stars all the way.

This speaker has great tone! It produces very chimey highs and powerful clear bass notes on guitar-not mushy at all. This speaker could be a little harsh in the highs right out of the box but still sounded great. Once broken in it just sounds better and better. I use it with a Fender Stratocaster primarily, played through a 55 watt Ampeg B-25 tube head connected to a 2x15 closed back cabinet. The back of the cabinet opens and when the back if opened, the speaker definitely has more "air" between the notes and has much more definition when playing barre chords. I think it sounds better with the back open but definitely has more punch when the back is closed. This speaker has a high SPL efficiency and as a result can get VERY loud. It also has a nice speaker break up when pushed, which also has improved as it has broken in. I would highly recommend this speaker, especially if you are trying to reproduce very clean, Fender-like amp tones. If you are looking for a darker tone, I would recommend the Eminence Big Ben speaker as it tends to be less bright sounding. Eminence has a great sound clip library for both speakers on their web site. The same riffs are played through both speakers, clean and dirty, and in multiple playing styles. Take a listen and let your ears tell you what suits your tastes. This speaker has worked well for me and I am very happy with it.

Last autumn, I designed, 3D printed, and assembled a "4x6" (four six inch speakers) guitar speaker cabinet. I integrated a crude bass reflex structure into it which I feel helps with the tone, and I loaded the cabinet with four Eminence Patriot 620H speakers. Elated by my success, I decided to make a 2x10 cab. I used a simple 'woofer box design and loaded it with two Celestion Ten speakers. Bad choices. The cab sounded dull, flat, and lifeless. I decided to get two of these Legend speakers and simply swap out the Celestions. As I waited for these speakers to arrive, I wondered if the simple design I'd used was contributing to the lack of tone. So I designed and 3D printed the cabinet you see in the photos. The speakers are tilted back for better projection and I integrated a crude bass reflex structure into this cab as well. MUCH MUCH BETTER!! These speakers are a perfect fit, physically and tonally! They are very well rounded in tone, yet deliver strong, smooth punch across much of the tone spectrum to my ears. Lows, mids, and even highs are well balanced. I'm sure my cab design is contributing to the great tone at least somewhat, but I think these wonderful speakers deserve most of the credit. It's easy to hear why they got the name "Legend"! Regarding my music styles, I tend to play blues, rock, and jazzy improvised stuff. I occasionally hook up a metal-themed distortion pedal for high gain fun, but a shredder or headbanger I am not. These speakers sound great regardless of what amp and guitar combo I play through them. I recently bought a Hagstrom Viking Baritone guitar, and these speakers of course handle it's lowered range better than my 4x6 cab does. While I don't plan to build any more 3D printed speaker cabinets any time soon, should I ever change my mind, Eminence has my business for such projects from here on out!

I bought two of these and i`m happy with them. One was a warehouse deal, so yay. They are installed in an open back cabinet and used with a variety of amps.

Balanced across the frequency range. Smooth bass and highs. Really fantastic design.

Wow... Bought it to put in my 100watts Roland SuperCube combo guitar amp. Sound very deep and wide, with much high than I expected for a 15 inch. Even at very low volume the presence is envelloping. That speaker is very responsive and know that the master is the guitar, no matters which guitar is... Playing jazzy flamenco since 30 years, I like to plug my ''nylon-electric'' as well as my ES-335 into it. Stop thinking and buy it!

Good speaker! But since i didn't need it anymore i return it.

Excellent speaker; used in a Super Champ x2, both the clean and the voices channels sound great and a little louder then the stock speaker.
