Folks - been quite a bit of discussion about this, so I thought that I'd post a small poll which might be of interest:

Which is/are your brand/model of main speaker(s) ?


Curious to see just how dominant Celestions are out there!

main model is a G12H100 (which is really nice, but I'd like to tweak my tone a bit with a different model)

also own V30, G12H30, G10 Vintage and a spare G12H100

i don't own any celestions, but i am certain they will be in at least one of my future cabs.  That alnico blue looks great, but i envision the V30 for myself in the not so far off future.

Celestion G12H30. I dont own any others at the minute. I want to get an Orange or Martamp 4x12 which I guess have v30s in but I really cant afford or justify it at the minute :(

Mix of G12H and G12M- if I had to choose one it'd be the G12M Heritage

Same here!
Otherwise known as Celestion Sidewinder, because of the special edgewound aluminium voice coil that allowed for greater efficiency

Edited because I cant seem to type in sentences that make sense today

I have Celestion V30s, G12T-75s, G12H Heritages and G12T-100s in various 1x12, 2x12 and 4x12 cabs.

My 'main' speaker is the Celestion G12T-100 ('Hot 100').

Vintage 30s for me - by far my favourite.

A few years ago I did a side-by-side demo of Marshall 1960A (with G12T75s) & 1960AV (with V30s) cabs.  The AV with V30s just sounded far superior to me - much more depth, projection, tone, chunk.

My current cab (Mesa Recto 2x12") has V30s, as do the other cabs I'd like to get (Engl E212VH, Mesa Recto 4x12", H&K VC412A30).

The only other speaker I'd really like to have is the Celestion Classic Lead 80.  AFAIK they aren't installed in any production cabs, but I tried them in a VHT Pittbull 2x12 combo in about 1994.  That amp sounded unbelievably good :)

I'm not surprised. Celestion is pretty much the market leader. Almost all big seller amps ere standard equipped with Celestions.

I use Jensen C12N's by the way.

I'm another Celestion Sidewinder user.  I have one in my Silver Jubilee and one in an Ear Candy Sovereign cab.  I just got 4 more but will probably put them in 2 2x12 cabs rather than a 4x12.  I am still waiting for an Ear Candy buzzbomb 2x12, it is coming with their speakers, but I want to try the Sidewinders and my Scumback M12-75-LHDC's in it.  I also have a 2x12 with Eminence Tone Spotters which sounds great.  I have a lot of other speakers in various amps and cabs too.  I just always keep coming back to the Sidewinders.
