Pair of these Eminence/Fender speakers ok in a Twin Reverb?

Post by mjet » Fri Jul 27, 2007 6:40 am

I've got a pair of these Eminence speakers made for Fender (model 121042 is written on the magnet sticker) that I believe are used in the Hot Rod Deluxe. They're 8 ohm and I believe rated at 75w (one auction for them said 60w but I'm not sure which is correct).

I've got them for sale locally and a guy called up to ask me some questions about them. The main one which I really couldn't answer is:

Will a pair of these, set up to run as a pair at 4 ohms, be suitable for a Twin Reverb (I think it's a 100w silverface but it could be the 85w reissue, not sure)

Thanks

Not quite the same, but I've had a pair of 8 ohm Vintage 30 Celestions (60 watts apiece) running in parallel at 4 ohms in my 105watt TRII for a decade without issue. Provided that the wattage of the pair is greater than or equal to the rating of the amp, I would think they would work fine.
Bigger in sum than parts.

They are sold by eminence as "legend 125" - they are reviewed on harmony central, although one bloke claims they are different, everything else I've read says otherwise,

By the way, I put a neck on your musicmaster, and fitted a jaguar pickup - number 1 guitar for studio sessions at the moment  :D

Ive got the blonde TRRI which has the Eminence, but I think the 'regular' twins have the Jensen speakers.
