Do we know what speakers are in the new 810E, AV and Heritage cab's. Is the AV the same as an E, but for the grill cloth?. |

The speakers in my AV were Chinese Eminence. Sounded great, but I upgraded to Eminence Legend B810's (which I'm VERY happy with).

On the Heritage they quote 15mm Birch, but I thought the originals were thicker than this?. |

wow, never knew the av was more expensive. well, it does look better

I got mine used (but unplayed) It was worth the upcharge to me to match my VR, and I just like the look, but it's probably a much bigger upcharge than necessary.

I like the idea of the Heritage and the fact it's got US speakers, as I'm not so sure on the Chinese Eminence anymore, but the cost over here is £1300 for the Heritage. |

edit: that's not including the speakers they use in the heritage 810e. they have a redesigned new speaker for the heritages.
