ToneSpeakDartford 1220 12" 20W Alnico Guitar Speaker 8 Ohm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dartford 1220 is a 12-inch, 8-ohm guitar speaker that pairs an alnico magnet and paper cone in a steel basket. Its described response centres on tight lows, warm vocal mids, and chiming highs, with fast response to picking dynamics. When driven harder, it is voiced to compress smoothly. With 20W handling, a 1.75-inch voice coil, and 99dB sensitivity, it suits cabinet builds and guitar rigs seeking this British-style character.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Installing in an existing cabinet or new speaker build aimed at British-style guitar response.
- Using low-wattage guitar heads where 20W handling and smooth compression are part of the goal.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rigs that require an impedance other than the stated 8 ohms.
- Applications requiring power handling above 20W.
