Eminence Legened Speakers VS. Celestion greenbacks

[sebby123]

I know that the legends are eminence's take on the greenbacks which ive plaed in a soldano and loved...I hear mixed reviews on the greenbacks..So im wondering is the celestion worth double the price? 70 compared to 140 if it is worth it then im fine going with the celestion but sound wise...i dont know i like the legends never have played greenbacks...

Eminence makes a few speakers in the legend series, I think the GB128 are the greenback style sepakers, but I am not sure.

Another thing to consider is scumback speakers or weber 1225's. They both make some nice greenback style speakers. Celestion has the reissue g12M greenbacks and the heritage greenbacks.

I would like to get a 212 with greenbacks, but I am worried about blowing them with 50Watt amps and not sure if greenbacks are better in closed or open back cabs. I have heard they are better in closed back cabs....

I had the v12s (based on the Vintage 30) and compared to my Greenbacks (I ABed them), the v12s were quite a bit clearer. The greenbacks seemed to add gain and more hair.
