yup, its a good speaker

easily my favorite affordable, current production ceramic 12" -- I think it sounds better than any of the reissued H30s, even the heritage one.... I like the 55hz model, it handles the low strings well and is less pokey than a 75hz, but the lead cone also sounds good if you want something a little more cutting... I pair mine with celestion alnicos, so its best with the deep response and mellow top.
