We tested this speaker against vintage alnico magnet JBL's, Jensens, Fanes and Celestions and everyone in the room agreed that this was hands down the best sounding speaker of the bunch. This one has the original cone and sounds GREAT. ![]() There's something special about the huge alnico magnet and all paper, smooth surround cone. The later ceramic magnet EVM 12L's are great speakers, but try one of these side by side and there's no comparison. The bad news is the correct cone has long since been discontinued and the recone kits available do NOT sound the same as the original. Most SRO's you find for sale these days are beat up and reconed. They were very popular among guitarists back in the 70's and 80's and were swapped in and out of amps and cabinets and used by rock and rollers and touring bands that appreciated their power handling and thick, warm, punchy tone. ![]() You don't see these in this pristine condition very often, if ever. ![]() In my humble opinion these early, white, alnico magnet SRO's are the best sounding guitar speaker ever made. Vintage Electro Voice SRO 12" 8 ohm speaker in beautiful, all original condition.
