| Looks like it is. I was one of the "field testers" for the EPS-15C and at the time they were not considering a 12" version. Apparently enough people asked for it. |

| I wonder what it would be like in a Nash. 112 or Roland Cube 80XL? |

| I was wondering about that. This is great news. I have the 15" in my NV400 and I love it. |

| Yes, this is the brand new 4 ohm little brother to the Eminence EPS-15C. Its a whopping 450 watts at 4 ohms. Weighs only 7 pounds. See my ad in Amplifiers section. Special Forum members price. I am an Eminence dealer. For anyone wanting to put together a lite weight 12" club rig, this is the speaker. Specifically modeled for steel guitar by Eminence. |

I have 2 of the 15's and am more than pleased with them. Since these are the 12 inch version, there is no doubt that these are good, good, good.

| I'm thinking about replacing the 4 -10" speakers that are in a Peavey Classic with a 12" speaker. 4 ohms and 200 watts. It's an early 90's amp that was redone when I picked it up for 100.00. I use it mainly for a practice amp. Just wondering how a 1203-4BW speaker would work in it. Thanks. |

| I checked with a local electronics technician who has done some work for me and whom I have come to trust with great confidence, about replacing the standard speaker in the Roland Cube 80XL with the new Eminence EPS 12C and he advised against it because the Roland speaker is 8 ohms and the Eminence is 4ohm and in that application he foresaw potential problems with stressing the Amp at higher volume levels. Just a precaution to consider. |

| The new EPS-12C is a revolution in 12" steel speakers. |

I've got Kevin's 15" in Marrs ultra lite cabinet.
I'm wondering anyone makes "smaller" ultra-lite cabinet for 12"? I've seen the 15" cabinet with 12" buffle, but don't know of any smaller cabinet... |

I did an EQ emulation on the 12C.
I have made about 10 such EQ emulations for different size and brand speakers that allow me to estimate what a speaker would sound like with a given recorded (dry) guitar. Of course, this does not take the enclosure into account, but it gives you a raw idea.
Compared to those others, it is one of the better sounding speakers. It is, not surprisingly, not far away from their deltapro-12a, although this has a ferrite magnet. It sounds a little brighter than the deltapro-12a, but otherwise fairly neutral on different program.
Neodyme magnets have a bad fame attached to them of sounding harsh. In correspondence with speaker and amp guru Kevin OĀ´Connor from Londonpower he states that the speaker does not care what magnet material it is propelled by, as long as we are talking of a linear range.
I presume, that when a speaker comes to its limits, things change. But with some hefty 250 Watts you should be fairly safe.
Speaker manufacturers always put some usage tag on their speakers (such as "pedal steel guitar speaker" in this case). This is not only ridiculous, it also makes people think that they cannot use other speakers. Of course you can, but we have to remember they want to sell something. 
For my taste, those range of speakers sound better for anything exept bass than 15 inchers.
If you are looking for a 12" speaker, take that one into account, or the deltapro-12a or the even the Electro Voice EVM12L, which the prior are said to be a clone of.
have fun,

The Roland runs at minimum 8ohms... but if you connect the EPS12C as an extension speaker it will only bring the result up to 12ohms and it will take most (2/3) of the power. Since it is probably more efficient than the Roland speaker the result should be quite a bit louder, even with the reduced power output.
