Pure Gold

I was looking for the 90 watt cream alnico but the were not available. So I took the chance on this being that I'm putting it in a 50 watt amp. The amp is a vintage '99 Carvin Nomad and it's original speaker was muddy at best. But $ it was a steal for a US made all tube amp. I dropped this in it about a year ago and now it is well broken in. The difference in sound from the amp is night and day. The clarity is amazing. Sparkling, screechy(in a good way), and balzy when you want it. I primarily play jazzish blues but I like to dirty it up a bit and this speaker get raunchy with the best of them. Nothing but pure gold.

Could not be happier

This is a replacement for the 100w OE speaker in a 1999 Carvin Nomad 50w amp. I bought this to use as my clean channel opposite of my Mesa. Right out of the box the Celestion Gold has a much brighter tone than the more break-up focused Carvin speaker. The tones are very articulate. The lows are punchy and concentrated. The highs are very bell like, even with the somewhat subdued sound of a Burstbucker. The fit for this speaker was perfect. Any variation in any direction and it would not have fit. It dropped right in. I'll call it perfect. Cosmetic doesn't mean much for a combo speaker but the gold in the tweed is nice. Completely revitalized the sound of this amp. The difference in price between Alnico and ceramic is equal to the difference in the sound quality. Looking to revitalize an older amp? I highly recommend the Celestion Alnico series. Props to Kent Sallaz for steering me in the right direction.

Struck Gold!

After only about 4-5 playing hours of getting these installed, I can for certain say these are everything I hoped for and more. I have a pair of them installed in my JTM45/Bluesbreaker clone (KT66 tube rectified circuit with a PPIMV, pushing a solid 50 watts) and they sing ever so beautifully. Prior to these, I had a pair of Ted Weber's - a Silver Bell and a Legacy Blue Series, both ceramic magnets. Going to the AlNiCo Golds was akin to a spiritual awakening. A slight increase in headroom, allowed a flood of dynamics, pleasant harmonics and overall clarity to shine through. Warm bottom end, but not "flubby." Bell-like highs, clear, but not harsh or shrill. Excellent mid-range crunch. Smooth, buttery attack. They go into excellent compression when pushed, without getting distorted and "crackly" or harsh. If they sound this good after only a few hours, I can't imagine how good they will be after full break in. Pricey, but most good things in life are. Treat yourself to some Gold.

Sonido claro y bien definido.

great investment

I've had this speaker for a little over a month now, using it in a single 12" cab. It certainly does a 50 watt Marshall tube head justice but many speaker's do that well, maybe not this well, but what surprised me the most was how well it does with my SD powerstage 170. I use the powerstage at home for volume control and to save on (now hard to come by ) tubes. I run a Helix LT in front for for pre amp color and effects. I have a Strat and a Les Paul and this speaker sounds fantastic even at low volume, that's the shocker, very full and very dynamic. I also have a greenback, Anniversary and a V30 which are all great speakers in their own right but none compare to this in either setting.. I will probably use alnico from here on out..
