Säljer ett par Celestion Ditton 44 i mycket bra skick för sin ålder. Basarna och mellanregistren är omkantade någon gång och i gott skick. Jag har bytt alla kondensatorer i delningsfiltren med kvalitativa kondensatorer från Falcon Acoustics. Originalkondensatorerna finns kvar och kan skickas med om så önskas. Låter kanon och kosmetiskt är dom i väldigt bra skick för sin ålder. Men vissa repor och märken finns. Har försökt fånga det på bild. Medföljer även svart akustiskt tra
This one is old enough that timing matters: the Ditton 44 is a 1975-era classic, so value is really about originality and condition rather than chasing a newer replacement model. At kr 3,900 SEK, the ask looks fair to mildly attractive against recent used examples around kr 2,900–3,600 SEK equivalent, with premium serviced pairs clearly higher; it is not a slam-dunk bargain, but it is in the right zone if the cabinets and drivers are genuinely tidy.
The reason to want it is simple: the Ditton 44 is a respected British 3-way with a big, room-filling presentation and enough sensitivity that it does not need brutal amplification to sing. If the pair is original and untouched, that can be a plus for collectors and for the classic Celestion voicing; just verify the foam/surrounds, driver matching, and that both cabinets are clean and unmolested before paying full asking.

Celestion traces its origins to 1924 in Hampton Wick, on the outskirts of London, where Cyril French and his brothers founded the Electrical Manufacturing and Plating Company. Tasked with refining Eric Mackintosh's early cone loudspeaker invention—a bamboo-reinforced "free-vibrating edge" design—they patented it that year and named their breakthrough product the Celestion. By 1928, the firm had incorporated as Celestion Ltd., adopting the motto "The Very Soul of Music" amid rapid expansion into radiogram speakers and cabinets, before acquisitions by British Rola in 1946 and later Truvox reshaped its trajectory.
The brand specializes in loudspeakers, with a legacy rooted in innovative drivers for radios, hi-fi systems, and professional audio. Iconic models like the G12 series, first developed in 1936 and toughened into the 1959 T530 Alnico Blue—the world's inaugural guitar amp speaker—cemented its prowess. Today, Celestion produces pro audio loudspeakers, guitar cabinets, and replacement drivers, emphasizing precision engineering for sound reinforcement and instrument amplification, all manufactured under ISO standards within the Gold Peak group.
Celestion commands a revered position as a vintage-inspired leader in the guitar and pro audio markets, prized by musicians and engineers for its punchy, articulate tone that defined rock legends from the 1960s onward. Neither purely high-end boutique nor mid-tier commodity, it blends heritage craftsmanship with reliable performance, appealing to discerning hi-fi buyers and tone chasers who value century-tested innovation over fleeting trends.
