12 inch 50 watt 16 ohm. Jaren 80 hele nette celestion. Bijna nieuwstaat. In een bijna nieuw cabinet. De kast is van echt hout. Goed gebouwd van echt multiplex. Mooi licht in gewicht. En veel betere ak
Celestion’s 1x12 cab format is a useful, no-nonsense piece of kit, and at €120 this lands a bit under the €140 median for recent comparable listings. It’s not a screaming bargain, but it is a fair, buyable price and clearly below the upper half of the market.
That makes it attractive if the cab is structurally sound and loaded with a Celestion speaker you actually want; these cabs are valued for efficient projection, solid midrange punch, and easy pairing with small to medium heads. At this price, the main upside is getting a straightforward working cab without paying premium money, so check the speaker model, impedance, grill and corners, and whether the baffle or tolex has taken any abuse.

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.
