Celestion Celeste Satellit Floorstanding speakers Kit with high-end crossover from Hobby HiFi

Kit with high-end crossover 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 reinforcement (PA), then show a high efficiency for HiFi loudspeakers of 92 dB (2.83V, 1m) in the full-range Celeste. The Celeste satellite described here has 95 dB efficiency. However, its frequency response is limited: It transmits in a smaller housing from 110 Hz in the same housing as the full-range loudspeaker from 80 Hz. To achieve 95 dB (2.83V, 1m) efficiency, Bernd Timmermanns uses a 2nd order crossover (12 dB/octave slope). Parallel to the tweeter driver, a suction circuit suppresses unwanted exaggerations. The loudspeaker box can be set up as a 90-liter bass reflex box, with the two bass reflex openings at the bottom radiating diagonally towards the floor, or as a much smaller closed box, which then only transmits from 110 Hz.

In the high-end version proposed by Hobby Hifi, coils with baked enamel wire are used instead of coils made of conventional, enamel-insulated wire. MKP capacitors with a 630V limit voltage are used as capacitors. With this kit you get high-quality ClarityCap capacitors of the SA type. The electrolytic capacitor remains unchanged. For the wiring we supply Inakustik speaker cable Premium LS Silver (2x 2.5 mm2, silver-plated).

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.
