I built a new speaker to be used with my wife's GFI S-10 at home. I had taken it to Cowboy Church Sunday evening along with her GFI and it sounded very good. I have a regular Monday evening gig and I decided to take that with me on the gig and see how it did with my D-10 Franklin. I was pleasantly surprise at how well the E9th was - so much that I'm going to start using it instead of my speaker with an Eminence EPS-15C. Every note was clean and the highs not overly "brittle" as some 12" speakers. It has a "tight bottom" on C6th and hopefully after its broken in I can say the same thing about the C6th sound as the E9th. I'm using my Carvin BX500 amp with the speaker and the same EQ settings as I use with the 15" speaker except "0" (no boost or cut) on the High (treble).

In action with the new speaker (and cabinet I built)

Well Jack, my thoughts... If the TT-12 is as startling as the new PF-350 then I'd certainly consider it over Paul's signature speaker because of the weight factor. I guess someone's just gonna have to buy one of each to compare. I may just do that. (I've already got 2 PF-350's) But I'm here to say the PF-350 is amazing, and you certainly don't have to take my word for it, as more of these get into people's hands I'd venture to say they will be positive. Will they both sound the same?? Won't know until I try a TT-12. We are in a great gear time to be sure!

PS: I've never been a fan of 12" speakers, have tried several....and that's why I wasn't too interested in trying Travis' sig speaker...but I am now

I've found this to be my favorite speaker, even for guitar. The Tele sounds amazing though it, as it tames some of the ice pick highs.

George, this post is just my thoughts on the TT-12 speaker as I used it. It is not a post on different speakers and what is better. That is for another thread, not this one.

Mine as well, it's an interesting topic, at least to me.

Where does one buy the TT-12 speaker? I've only played PSG through a 15" speaker, but this one sounds like it is worth trying out for sure.

I just bought a TT-12 through Protech in Silver Srings Maryland
Got my PF 350 from them as well, fast and free shipping
Authorized Eminence Dealer, one source worked well for me

Sweetwater has them also. It is listed as the 'Double T 12'.

Yes, Double-T 12 is the actual name of the speaker.
