Celestion Cinco floorstanding loudspeakers from K+T magazine 3/2017

Kit without housing, price per speaker

Cinco is a 3-way high-end floor-standing loudspeaker with a coaxial midrange tweeter. The loudspeaker consists of a Celestion FTX0820 coaxial loudspeaker for the midrange and tweeter range. The bass range is handled by 4 Celestion FTR08-2011D woofers in a bass reflex housing. The crossover consists of a 3rd order high-pass filter (18 dB / octave) for the tweeter, a bandpass consisting of a 2nd order high-pass and low-pass filter with a voltage divider for the midrange speaker and a 2nd order low-pass filter with an absorption circuit to smooth out the impedance peak for the four woofers. The frequency response of the loudspeaker box is very balanced between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz. The decay spectrum is very fast and almost error-free. The non-linear distortions at low volumes (85 dB, 1m) are below 1.5% above 500 Hz.

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.
