If you are looking for a darker tone, I would recommend the Eminence Big Ben speaker as it tends to be less bright sounding

Overall, for the price I cannot complain, and assume its much better than a low end Celestion, although hearing it makes me want to try other Eminence speakers with hopes to get the best sound possible

It's not bad, and this is a good sounding speaker

I use mine in a vibroverb, and I love the sound

Really improved the sound of my old Gibson Skylark amp.

The CTS speakers could be a bit harsh sounding at times, but the 1058's have a nice balance tone

These are amazing sounding speakers

For example, The sound from loud amps like Marshals and Fenders are very irritating to my ears, so I based my choice on reviews and information shared by amazon customers as well as on other websites and forums

-inexpensive-sounds great-highs are not pingy

As the speaker has been broken in, it has sounded better and better

but that's all still possible with manipulation of the the tone control on the guitar (you probably won't get as dark a sound before getting to pure muffledness)

Great sound for classic rock tones

I pulled the lame sounding, stock, low budget Chinese made speaker out of my Pignose G40V. For years, I used the Pignose as a head only

I'm glad I did because it has the smooth sound I want

I suspect it will handle much more power than the 25 watt Frontman has...since the Frontman costs $100 new, I didn't want to spend too much on a replacement speaker...as good as this one sounds, I am now wondering if I should have spent another $10-20 for the next one up the line!

It's easily 10dB louder than the stock speaker and sounds noticeably better.

The circuits were separated into a stereo set up to be able to plug in two different guitar amps to enhance sound

If you tend to like alnico sounds, you might like that

The bad unit also had intermittent coil rubbing which resulted in some odd sounds
