Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 20 W, 8-ohm EVH-branded G12 replacement speaker built around Celestion’s Heritage Series G12 M approach to original 1960s 20-watt Greenback sound.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Applications requiring a speaker rated above 20 W
