I have a 5:25 10" combo, and I'm looking forward to trying the 10" Celestion Gold instead of the stock speaker. Has anyone else tried this? What are your opinions?
And if you haven't tried a Gold, what speakers have you tried?
Tried: Ramrod, Legend, Delta Demon, G10 Vintage, G10 Greenback, Michigan, Chicago, Texas, California, EV, Tone Tubby regular and Superboy, Silver Ten, Blue Pup, many in both ceramic and alnico versions. Best of those were imo EV, Tone Tubby, Texas, Michigan. The G10 Greenback had a very flimsy build quality, unlike the stoutly built G10 Vintage, but I have to admit it did sound really good.
However, I have the Celestion G10 Gold in my Express right now, and it aint goin no where. It is by a LONG mile the best of all the 10 inch speakers I have ever put in or connected to that amp.....for the blues/classic rock/smooth jazz type sounds I'm after. In fact, I was so sold on Weber Texas and Michigan and Tone Tubby, I never would have guessed in a hundred years that any Celestion speaker would ever impress me again as long as I live......but that G10 Gold is Gold in this amp! I dont even like Celestions at all, but that G10 Gold is stayin right where it is!
Best price I've found on the G10 Gold is
