Zgan. In doos. Celestion creamback nieuw. 12 Inch 65 watt 8 ohm geweldig klinkende speaker, gekocht voor een project maar gaat uiteindelijk niet door.
€100 looks like a solid buy against the recent used market: it sits comfortably below the €141 median and well under the €237 75th percentile, so this is priced as a bargain rather than a stretch. It’s not at the ultra-low end of the €69 25th percentile, but it’s still in the sweet spot where value is clearly on the buyer’s side.
That makes sense for a well-liked guitar speaker with a reputation for strong detail, punchy mids, and a more refined take on classic Celestion voicing. If the cone is clean, the voice coil sounds healthy, and the mounting tabs and terminals are intact, this is the kind of used buy that can be a straightforward upgrade without paying new-item money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
