Blown speaker, need seggestions

    • New

    I run my Kemper through a Tube pre amp and then a crown power amp in stereo mode

    The Crown amp is hooked up to a pair of big pioneer speakers


    My neighbor gave me the Pioneer speakers many years ago
    They are a 6 way speaker with cross overs

    I gave them a try and I like how they sound

    I finally blew one of the 15 inch speakers and need to find a replacement

    I would go ahead and replace both 15 inch speakers so they match

    I would need a full range speaker that can handle 500 watts

    I saw these Eminence speakers at Sweetwater and they are on Amazon also

    Anyone has any feedback on those Eminence speakers?
    Or can suggest another 15 inch speaker?
    Thanks
    Here's a couple shots of the Kemper, Crown and speakers

    I could send the speaker off for repair, but I found out I am dealing with 150 watt speakers.
    I am amazed it lasted 10 years.

    That Crown amp is 1000 watts mono and 500 watts in stereo


    Then what about the crossovers and other speakers?
    How long until they take a dump?
    So I am thinking that I either get two much larger speakers, or just get some FR PA speakers like in the link I posted above.


    Any thoughts on those 500 watt Eminence speakers?

    I have my contact at Sweetwater on the job
    He is looking for suitable replacement for the blown 15 inch speaker
    I would replace both 15 inch speakers so the cabinets match


    He had some good points on what should be used for my application that I was not aware of

    Just want to mention that IME all FR/PA speakers are not the same. I have noticed that PA type monitors provide very different results with the Kemper. My conclusion is that a transparent cabinet is needed to achieve acceptable tones from the Kemper. Knowing that, I would never buy a speaker to monitor the Kemper without trying it first.
