    Celestion DL10 - Value in the UK!

    I have acquired a set of these speakers. Tested all good and original tweeters, mids and woofers. Inside the crossovers and wires are all in superb condition. They are in near mint condition. However they are too big for my space. What would be a reasonable asking price range (£s) for these? Ta

    Vintage Celestion Speakers

    I've owned 2 sets of Celestion speakers in my hifi journey, the ditton 44 and ditton 66. The 66s were awesome so I'm looking to buy some again but searching it up I found out there is a lot of design variety in the mk1 line made from 1973-1979. - The grills vary from full textile to PA style...

    Celestion SL6si (have) or ProAc Tablette 50?

    I have the Celestion SL6si, and I like them a lot. They are detailed in the treble but not necessarily that open sounding up there. Would the rather small ProAc Tablette 50, give me anything that I don't already have with the Celestions? Some people rave about them. I am listening in a smallish...

    Speaker platforms to use on a sideboard

    Hi all instead of speaker stands placed on the floor just wondered if anyone knows of good platforms or mounts that don’t require screwing into the base of the speaker. So far a German company called Numan seem to be my favourite for my Celestion Ditton 11. But I would prefer a teak or wooden...

    Matching Amp to speakers..

    I’d like to drive my system a bit harder than it will currently allow. I really like my Sansui amp but realise it might be the weak link. However my old floor standing speakers are nothing to be proud of. I’d be happy to swap those. If I drive them too hard I blow a tweeter, although realise...

    Looking for a nice amp to power Celestion sl-12s

    My father-in-law recently passed and left me some amazing speakers. I know these require a lot of power.. they say 150w on the back near the speaker terminals. What would be a good amp pairing for them? Aesthetically, I really like Marantz, Sansui, and McIntosh. In a perfect world, I'd like to...

    Question for the British bookshelf experts

    Reading around about British speakers in the BBC lineage, I'm intrigued by their reputed presentation - as if offering a 'window' onto the original recording where things are depicted almost in miniature and image very precisely. I'd like to get an idea of this sound, as I think it would work...

    Celestion 3 MKii tweeter replacement/specs?
