Celestion Alnico Gold 10" 8 Ohm

What to say... awesome!

Very well made, with plenty of bass that never gets muddy, a lot of oldschool mids and clear, but never harsh treble.

If you want a vintge sound, start from this speaker and then tinker with the rest of your rig.

Great Speaker!

If you like alnico speaker, that's one of the best options!

Lives up to its name - GOLD!

I bought this speaker as a replacement for the Jensen C10R that was in my Fender Princeton Reverb. I didn't go for the 12'' version because I like the punch and sweetness of the 10'' (it also keeps the weight within 'portable', so that's a plus as well). I was let down a bit at first because I was used to the crisp, crystalline sound of the Jensens... but soon I started to notice the smoothness and dynamic range. Wow! I use the amp with a wide range of guitars and pickups. It really brings out the character of the guitars and it complements them very nicely (the Jensens made humbucker equipped guitars sound a bit flat and the singlecoil guitars sounded wiry and thin).

A slight mid-bump and overall smoothness of the high end make it perfect for overdrive; yet at the same time, the clarity and dinamics make the clean work (especially for chords and fingerpicking) very pleasant. Bell like tones indeed! Pricey, but worth it.
