ABOUT US

Celestion professional loudspeakers and compression drivers have earned a reputation for innovative design, exceptional performance and superior reliability. The pursuit of excellence begins with a world-leading team of R&D engineers, led by experienced Head of Engineering Paul Cork at our purpose-built facility in Ipswich, England.

Product Description

Back in 1986 a new breed of hard rock player was on the rise. To meet the demands of the players and their increasingly 'hot-rodded' amplifiers, we set out to develop a modern speaker, capable of handling much more power and overdrive. To achieve this, we coupled our 'H' magnet (the closest in performance to Alnico) with a new cone and voice coil employing contemporary materials. Our most revealing speaker, the Vintage 30 features enormously detailed and complex overtones, a warm low-end, a famously rich vocal mid-range and a beautifully detailed top-end. Used singly to reveal the complexities in hand-wired boutique amps, or in quartets for a wonderfully intricate vintage three dimensional crunch, the Vintage 30 sound has been captured on thousands of recordings by players including Slash and Peter Frampton and bands ranging from Gov't Mule to Killswitch Engage.

I replaced the stock speaker in my Marshall DSL40C with the Vintage 30. It is not even close to being broken in but let me say WOW! I have a Schecter with active EMG's in it and it sounded pretty good even with the stock speaker in it. I bought an ESP with Seymour Duncan passive pickups on it and no matter the adjustments to the amp or pedal board it always sounded muddy in the bottom end. I paid a lot of money for that ESP and was fit to be tied. I was thinking about switching out the Duncan's with something else but I kept thinking, this is an ESP guitar built by hand in Japan. Not an LTD from S. Korea and these are the king of kings when it comes to Metal so I better do some research first. I found an article online which stated that upgrading the speaker in your amp is probably the first step to take if you have a quality guitar, a good tube amp but it doesn't sound right. It went on to say that in most cases people replace the pups which are not cheap to buy 2 high quality humbuckers. If you can't replace them yourself be prepared to let it sit at a Tech's shop for a couple of weeks and pay them even more money. In most cases this still doesn't do the trick. I'm glad I read this article first and replaced the speaker with one of the best ever, a Vintage 30 because now my ESP sounds like a guitar of it's caliber. Mud no more! Sounds great and it only took me about 10-15 minutes from start to finish to swap out the speakers. Do not hesitate to buy these speakers because they will not disappoint. No disrespect to the ESP LTD series either, they are great guitars as well.

These speakers sound really good. Don't listen to people who say the made in England versions sound better. I've used several of these in 4x12 and 2x12 cabinets and they all sound great. Yes, they have an upper midrange spike; depending on the amp, this could lead to ear fatigue. However, they cut through really well.

I put this speaker into my blackstar ht5r mkii combo amp to replace the stock speaker. The old speaker sounded muffled all the time no matter what I did. As soon as I swapped the celestion speaker I found the open sound I was looking for.

The speaker bolts line up perfectly so no necessary drilling. It also has two poles for the positive and negative lead attachments which are also labeled to help you wire the speaker if you have limited area to work with. The speaker is slightly louder than the original but I do believe this is due to the better treble and middle frequencies of the celestion speaker.

Magnet size matters lol. As soon as you pick up the speakers for comparison you can notice the quality difference and weight.

Overall this speaker is awesome. It brought my amp to life and I would definitely recommend.

A year ago I tried the 16 ohm version in my 2017 Peavey Bandit. The Blue Marvel speaker that came with it is actually a very good speaker. But I couldn't get the tone from the Vintage 30 out of my head. So the 16 ohm (UK version) went back into my Peavey Classic 30 (where I'm very happy to have it). This 8 ohm version is actually warmer sounding then the 16 ohm version (to my surprise). And it's not even broken in yet.! With my Strat on the neck pickup on the clean channel with the eq at 12 o'clock it sounds "Hendrix like, think 'The Wind Cries Mary). On the drive channel with the drive and treble at 10 o'clock, mid and bass at 12, it sounds very much like a cranked Plexi.

I finally decided to buy one these to mix into a 212 cabinet with another Celestion g12h. It really blends nicely, the g12h is kinda harsh somewhat and this V30 really makes it growl just as I wanted it to.
Here’s my first thoughts and recommendations for someone thats has purchased this speaker or any new speaker. Mount it in your cabinet and play it, at first speakers will always sound thick and heavy sounding. So by playing through it more and more over time like say a few hundred hours you will hear a huge difference in sound because the speaker has to wear in so to say. Right out of the box is no way to judge your speakers properly until you have literally played them with everything you got. Take some time and listen how its responding and soon you’ll be so happy when one day you turn it on and think Wow its finally done. Your guitar will roar and cause that speaker to do things like never before.
This speaker is great for any type of music when you just have to make adjustments on your amplifier and guitar.
I highly recommend anyone who wants to have something nice to add to their equipment then get one or however many you’re gonna need to achieve your desired sound. Good luck
