The Soloway Classic has a 10" Emi. I've heard that one live, and it sounds beautiful. I'd be shocked if that one didn't have anything above 3.5K -- it sure didn't sound like it.

I'll bet he's having a custom speaker made for that. Apparently, it's not that hard to get a custom speaker from eminence if you're willing to experiment....

It's and absolutely stock Delta Light Jack.

Oh. I guess it would be too dark for me. I have a couple of those speakers and I really miss not having anything above 3k. I used to have an Evans amp with one of the 12" versions of those speakers and it was the same deal. I guess I just like frequencies around 4.5k too much! When those are missing, the guitar just sounds dull to me. Maybe it's different with a tube amp driving it?
Thanks for the info.

The standard Celestion Neo Century will cause ear fatigue unless you have a very dark amp or tone controls that match with it better than my amps. No clue on Vintage Century.
I emailed Eminence, and they have no current plans to make a Neo mag guitar speaker....

Tubes change the dynamic response, but they'll never change the capabilities of the speaker, so if the Evans too dark for you, then I suspect you're probably best off looking else where.

Wonder where all the warmth and fatness I heard out of that amp (at the LI Guitar Show) came from?

George Alessandro makes a Century "Blue", where he recones the century speaker with a Blue's parts.
quite good. has that sweet vocalness and shimmery high end, while cutting down on the shrilliness.

I consider Warmth and fatness characteristics of low frequencies.
The Eminence Neo 10 speakers I have are in a closed back cab. Maybe it'd be worth taking the back off the cab and seeing if that makes a difference...

In contrast to ice-pick-in-the-ear. I dunno. Warmth and fatness without clarity = mud. There have to be some highs to get the clarity, but it sounds like "enough" highs for me is "not enough" for what you're looking for.
The Soloway Classic is open backed, so maybe it'd get a little closer to what you want if you popped the back off.

Thanks Richard. I'll definitely give that a try. The cab is also ported so that could very well be the issue.
