Biete hier ein Paar sehr seltene Minilautsprecher an, die sich hinter dem eisernen Vorhang aufmachte, den damaligen Platzhirschen Goodmans Maxim, Celestion Ditton 10 und sogar der LS 3/5a ein Stück vom Kuchen abzunehmen. Mit einigem Erfolg! Diese hübsche kleine Box ist tatsächlich ein Kleinod Ungarischer Ingenieurskunst auf seine Art. Klanglich offen und livehaftig, trotzdem auch ohne Subwoofer nach heutigen Maßstäben hörbar. Es handelt sich um ein relativ frühes Paar aus Sperrholz, nicht aus Spanplatte wie später verwendet (genau wie bei der Celestion Ditton 10) und das sensationelle Furnier und die Frontbespannung kann auch heute noch begeistern.
Maße sind: (W x H x D): 17 x 28 x 20 cm. DIN Connection.
Ein toller Speaker zum Sammeln und hören.. Mit einem guten Verstärker und einem regelbaren Sub lässt sich auch nach heutigen Maßstäben ein klanglich und optisch erstaunliches Setup aufbauen, gerade wegen der tollen Vintage Optik.
Versand kein Problem. Bei Bedarf könnte ich einen passend zugeschnittenen Subwoofer im gleichen Design entwerfen und liefern, einfach nachfragen.. :)

At €280, this looks fair to slightly firm rather than a steal for a used Celestion Ditton 10, given that comparable vintage Celestion parts and spares show meaningful collector interest but not huge price inflation; a clean pair with no work needed would be comfortable around this level, while anything needing service should really come in lower. The lack of condition detail is the main limiter here.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Ditton appeal: solid vintage British hi-fi character, attractive build quality, and enough reputation that well-kept examples can be genuinely satisfying daily speakers. The big upside is a tidy, original pair with intact drivers and cabinets; if they’re unmodified and all units are healthy, that’s the kind of listing I’d treat as a sensible buy rather than a gamble.

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.
