2x12 cabinet met 2 hele nette celestion vintage rockdriver speakers. De echte engelse celestions. Bijna in nieuwstaat en klinkt fantastisch! 2X12 - 4 ohm / 8 ohm - 200 watt aan te sluiten als 4 ohm st
It’s a seller’s market at this asking price: €350 sits well above the €230 75th percentile and far above the €142 median for recent comparable EUR listings, so this is ambitious rather than fair. Against the local market, you’d want a stronger case for originality, cosmetics, or included hardware to justify the premium.
That said, the appeal here is straightforward: a 2x12 Celestion cab can be a very usable, gig-ready piece if the drivers are healthy and the box is structurally sound. Celestion-loaded cabs tend to hold their own for punch and familiar British-voiced character, so the upside is solid if this one is tidy and genuinely original. At €350, I’d only move quickly if the speakers test clean, the baffle and tolex are intact, and there are no recone or mismatch surprises.

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.
