User Review:

Hello. Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you with feedback on the Rose Gold 8 ohm speaker.I just wanted to let you know you hit it out of the park with this model. After I broke it in some it sounds wonderful. Your right on that it sounds like the original red one but with more punch, etc.

Very nice bass response! I have a couple of 12" red ones and one 10" red one. The 12" one sounds fantastic in my 67 BF Fender Deluxe Reverb. Sounds better in that amp than any other. I have a large collection of vintage Fender amps so like to experiment with different speakers. I also have a Nashville Alnico I like but this Rose Gold is now my favorite.

 
Hemp is the name of the fiber that is cultivated from plants of the Cannabis genus. Hemp has been used for industrial purposes including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food and fuel.
Hemp fiber used for speaker cones provides a durable, tear resistant and water resistant cone. The long fiber of hemp provides better sound reproduction and longer sound waves.

Hemp vs. Paper

Hempcone® speakers deliver an organic and natural sound. By using hemp fibers instead of paper, the hemp cone delivers a consistently sweeter sound that many professional musicians rely on to optimize their recording sessions and live performances.

Paper cones will dry out, become brittle and give a brittle tone. Hemp provides a rich, full spectrum of tone from a cone that is stronger and more flexible.

Ceramic vs. Alnico

Alnico is an iron alloy which in addition to iron is composed primarily of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co), hence al-ni-co, with the addition of copper, and sometimes titanium. Alnico is inherently a warmer and smoother tone.

Ceramic (ferrite) magnets are composed of strontium carbonate and iron oxide. Ceramic magnets tend to produce a brighter, edgier tone and work great in 4x12 sealed back cabinets.

Alloy magnets like Alnico have an immediate and temporary demagnetizing reaction to the moving voice coil, lending a smooth compression effect to the signal that feels lively and responsive.
Ceramic magnets demagnetize less readily and sound edgier and punchier.
