Celestion Gold - 8 Ohm
Great Additions
Description
Building on the platform of the Blue, the Gold is a higher-powered, Alnico-magnet speaker that recreates the unmistakable sonic signature of a well played-in original. Over time, the high frequencies of a Blue soften and become less chalky as the cone becomes more flexible a much sought after characteristic that the Gold exhibits straight out of the box. Also present in the Gold sound from the outset is an added warmth and complexity in the midrange which, coupled with the classic Alnico qualities of a laid-back attack, rounded low end and brilliant belllike highs, deliver huge rhythm voicings and saturated vocal lead tones.
The Gold is a wonderfully expressive and revealing loudspeaker, affording guitarists an unprecedented degree of dynamic control. It has already become a favourite for many working players worldwide whether picking and bending with Brad Paisley, or rocking hard with Danny Spitz of Anthrax.

It's expensive but it's got a great sound that's all its own. I'm using a pair of these in a 4x12 with a pair of Vintage 30's under my Royal Atlantic. Sounds unreal, nice and clear, detailed, no mud or icepick, and works well in either sealed or open back configurations. They're my overall favorite sounding speakers I've played, and I've played them all except for Fane. That said, they mix well with V30's and that ceramic punch is nice to have along with that breathing feel the Gold has. It's unique and sounds great no matter what I've tried it with. Whether they're worth $350 apiece is another topic, I'd replace them if I had to but it'd be painful having to shell out ~$700 for the pair again. If you're curious about the fuss, try it. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed.
