Just got this from Eminence today:

B&C (Italy) has bought out Eminence. The brand and existing KY factory will continue for now, the China factory will be moved elsewhere in Dongguan.

This is my Go To Eminence speaker for my SSS builds.
Eminence 1518

I tried a lot speakers and for the clean tones this was the winner!
SM57 up close to the speaker and straight into my camera.
A word of caution, the magnet in this speaker is so strong you need to carefully position your reverb tank away from it.

Cheers
Guy

WOW, a 15er! That sounds like a nice mixture of butter and (surprisingly) snappy glass. What a great sound, and quite a bit cheaper than EVLs!

Not to further hijack, but... From your board and chassis set, Erwin? Built to the 002 schematic posted here? What step filter configuration does it have?

Yes from "my" chassis and board set. I think he posted his build, not sure. Step filters as per original, with the mica and orange drop.
Anyway Tomo made it shine: good guitar, amp and speaker set.

Is there a build thread for this amp? Would be cool to see. Thanks for the info.

Yes his signature speaker Eminence TF-1250, loosely based on Jensen P12N or C12N(?).
