Celestion Bluespeakers

pemich@mac.com · 11-11-2008, 06:22 AM

Hi,

My name is Peter and I´m new to this forum. I know you´re many experts here and the thing is that I love the Celsstion speakers and currently play this over Vox amps (AC30s) What I have noticed is that the newer chinese Blue ones sound very different to the old UK made Blue. Anyone here know anything about this? What could be the reason? Different cone? Different magnets? Try to contact both Vox and Celestion but just some cryptic replies if ever get a reply.

/Peter

you can still buy the UK made Blues, they are exact
recreations of the originals down to the glue and paper,
they are expensive though costing $299 US a peice

I just got the AC15 Heritage in the mahogany cabinet. Does anyone know if the Blue in this amp is made in the UK or China? Supposedly, the whole thing is handwired in the UK.

If it is made in UK you should have the proper ones. Look at the cone and if you see just 5 numbers it is most likely not the Meuller1777 cone.
