Ok. Here is the rundown. I have an EVM12L in a TL806a cab that I have been running my Jet City JCA22H through. I love the top and bottom end. I need something to fill out the mids and low-mids. It just needs some more meat in there. Not spiky or grainy like a V30 type, but wider and thicker mids and low-mids. I have an empty 1x12 to put something in, and I can run it open or closed. I have been pairing my Scumnico with it, and surprisingly really like it a low to mid gain sounds, but it gets fizzy at higher gains. Thinks Maiden and up. I would like this pair to work for everything, but excel in higher gain territory of the 80's. Maiden, Priest, and up to old Metallica

I am looking at Eminence speakers as I like the price, and want to give them a shot. My thoughts are Lynch Super V12, Legend V12, Legend GB12, or the Tonespotter. I looked at some of the Patriot line, but don't think they will give me what I want.

I would like to try a Gold, or Blackhawk HP, but those are out of my price range, as is the Scholz.

Let me know what you guys think, and thanks for the help.

Thanks,
Jason
 
I would look for whatever eminence's version of the Celestion G12-80, MC-90, or G12-65 is and go from there.
 
I just bought a couple Eminence Lynch Super V12s and I plan on pairing one with an EVM 12L in a Mills 2x12. I have paired an open back 1x12 V12 and a thiele EVM and they sound great together.
 
Damn you cnote. I am wanting to buy a Super V12 to run with it, and can't find one since they have been discontinued. I got two small places I am waiting for replies from today. Since I can't find one, that is what has made me thing about other options.

Thanks,
Jason

I also found a Gold worked great when I ran my Mesa Mark combo with one, with an EVM Thiele bottom. Amazing cleans and juicy distortion when loud.

The Super V12s are indeed getting rarer. But sometime in the next few months I am sure some will pop up.
 
cnote,

I got a line on a Super V12. Do you feel that it does a good job of filling out the mids on the EVM12L and add some meat to it? Can you describe how it mixes a little? Thanks for the help. I just want to be sure before I pull the trigger.

Thanks,
Jason
 
Also, if you can find one an EVM SRO Alnico rocks with a 12L. My favorite combo with thieles.
 
Thanks, Shark. I have a saved search for an SRO Alnico on eBay. If one comes up in decent condition, I am going to jump on it. That is the one with the white coffee can, correct?

Thanks,
Jason

Yeah, they have a beautiful, creamy mid. At least to me :yes:
 
Delta Pro 12A is Eminences version of the EVM12L. Might be worth checking out. I used a Delta Pro A and a Cannabis Rex of awhile in a 2x12, Good combo.
 
Shark Diver,

I just ran across a EV SRO in good condition on CL for $125 shipped. Should be here by the end of the week. For now, it is going into a 1X12 and I don't know if I will run it open or closed. I might have to build another Thiele cab. You are running yours through a Thiele right? What made you decide to go with Thiele.

Thanks,
Jason
 
I run a 1x12 with the Delta Pro A in a Front load sealed cab. Tight focused and plenty of bass still. Alot of people are suprised at how much air that sucker can move when you crank up your amp. I really like how it sounds so I haven't had the urge to buy or make a thiele cab.
 
Trip,

My EVM12l is already in a thiele cab. It is one of the original EV cabs. You say you liked your delta pro with a C-Rex. I actually thought about that. How did the two match up volume wise? I am looking for something for all types of music, that will add more mids, and low mids to the EV. I have pretty high expectations for the SRO from everything I have read.

I simply used it for uniformity. It sounded great in an O/S Mesa 1x12 and a Bogner Cube.

I have thought about putting the SRO in an open back 1x12 with about 15% dry and running the FX through it for the "airiness". Then letting the Thiele do the dry thumpin'. Just gotta play around and see what works best for you. My problem is that what I always like best means I need a road crew to move it :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:
 
Perfect. I am really looking forward to putting in some time with it. I will try it open first, and then maybe throw the panel on just to compare it. I will post up after I get it in and spend the week with it.

Later.
