Tell me all you know about this speaker. How would you compare it to Celestion V30 ?

Keep in mind the Man-o-War is Eminence's take on the G12-T75, not the V30. If you're looking for a V30 flavor, the Eminence Governor is what you're looking for. Having said that, you'll probably find a Man-o-War bigger in the bass and more scooped in the mids than a V30.

My bad then. So, how is Governor compared to V30 ?

I've owned both and I think they are very close. The Governor is a tiny bit brighter and stiffer, but not necessarily in a bad way - stiffer in the same way a G12K-100 is stiffer than a V30. Both are great speakers IMO.

Try the Eminece Lynch Super v12. Ive got one paired with a Eminence Delta 12 B. One of my fave speaker mixes ever. HUGE balls. creamy mids & a nice smooth top (but not overly smooth)

Man o war sounds cool, if you're going for that G12T75 sound.

If you want the V30 sound, check out the Warehouse Speakers Veteran 30 and Retro 30.
