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

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.
So many pickups, so little time
