Celestion Celeste floorstanding speakers from Hobby Hifi 6/2013

Kit without housing, price per speaker

Celeste (Italian for heavenly) was derived from the name of the chassis manufacturer "Celestion". The kit developed by Bernd Timmermanns contains a Celestion bass driver, which performed excellently in the chassis test. A Celestion CDX1-1430 tweeter with Monacor horn is used as an accompaniment. These loudspeaker chassis, developed for professional sound systems (PA), then show a high efficiency of 92 dB (2.83V, 1m) in this loudspeaker box. They are fully HiFi-compatible and show an exemplary flat frequency response on axis. If you want a higher efficiency, then Celeste Satellite is available. Bernd Timmermanns uses a 2nd order crossover (12 dB/octave slope) in the loudspeaker box. A suction circuit parallel to the loudspeakers suppresses unwanted exaggerations. The decay spectrum is low in resonance, the frequency response on axis is, as described above, perfectly flat and ranges from approx. 45 to 20,000 Hz (-8 dB) The loudspeaker box is constructed as a 90-liter bass reflex box, with the two bass reflex openings at the bottom radiating diagonally towards the floor.

Celestion speakers are a well-known brand in the world of guitar and bass amplification, famous for their high-quality sound and durability. Founded in 1924 in London, Celestion has a long history of producing speakers for a variety of applications, but they are particularly recognized for their guitar speakers. Their designs are widely regarded for their ability to shape tone, offering a range of frequencies that bring out the best in both clean and distorted sounds.

Some of their most popular models include:

Celestion Vintage 30: This is one of their most iconic speakers. It’s often associated with high-gain rock and metal tones, with a punchy midrange, tight bass, and pronounced high-end that works well with overdriven tones.
Celestion Greenback: Known for its classic British tone, the Greenback is often linked with the vintage sound of the '60s and '70s. It has a warm, creamy sound with less emphasis on bass compared to the Vintage 30.
Celestion G12T-75: A bit more modern, this speaker is great for high-output amps and has a more aggressive, cutting sound with a strong midrange and high-end presence, making it a favorite for hard rock and metal.
Celestion Alnico Blue: Famous for its smooth, vintage tone with a distinct chime. It’s great for classic rock, blues, and jazz players looking for that rich, warm sound with natural compression.
Celestion Creamback: A great middle ground between the Vintage 30 and Greenback, offering a balanced tone that works for a wide variety of genres. It has a smoother, more vintage character than the V30 but with more clarity than the Greenback.

Celestion speakers are often used in high-end amplifiers like those from Marshall, Orange, Fender, and Vox, but they also make a variety of speakers for DIY amp builders and custom cabinets.
