Bookshelf speakers Celestion 12i

Celestion, which designs and manufactures speakers for over 70 years, always at the highest level. To a large extent contributed to raising the profile of the firm to produce a series (10 models), we obtain a concise notation "i". You've probably already decided that 12i is precisely the smallest. There are smaller: And - dipole rear pair for home theater. So 12i holds the second growth from the bottom. This is a complete bookshelf speakers with this sound. The original design of the front panel, obviously, has a definite physical meaning. It can be assumed that the developers sought to maximize the homogeneity of the field as by reducing the focus, and by reducing the diffraction interference, simultaneously improving the coordination of the tweeter with the environment. Furthermore, composite contoured faceplate has exceptionally good resistance to parasitic bending. Note from myself that the wall and the body seemed to us quite sonorous, it gave reason to doubt the adequacy of the internal volume mute. The sound system has pleased all the experts. Here there is some confusion: almost all noted excess cool and yet so amicably praised the clarity and correctness of the sound image. In other words, the coolness that explained by the increased average sensitivity in the high compared with the average sensitivity in the full range of 100 Hz-20 kHz, does not interfere with the music and not irritating. This can be explained by the fact that the comparatively high non-uniformity in the range of four octaves of the upper (+/- 2,5 dB against unevenness in the middle equal +/- 1,3 dB), there is virtually no large local disturbances. Although overtones and raised, but all equally elevated preserving their mutual proportions. As a result, high-aspect of the image is bright, expressive and correct. Mid compared with high sensitivity becomes 1.2 dB, and the average irregularity drops to +/- 1,3 dB. Consequently, the core, energy rich foundation instrumental and vocal music, is given in all the splendor of genuine palette. Very colorful picture. Of course, if you listen to classical music, any allocation overtone texture make the nose wrinkle experts and connoisseurs, but there audioworld inhabited not only by classicists ... Basses at a small shelf system very decent. At the sound of flesh felt musical matter. Sensitivity is relatively high, according to our data is obtained even higher the rating - 88.7 dB; a very good uniformity of the field, directivity factor - 6.2 dB. The system is easy to load with any amplifier. Speakers give a clear idea of the scenic space and has good dynamic capabilities. In summary, we can conclude that in our opinion, Celestion 12i refers to the category of universal shelf system. However, we have refrained from recommending listen to it from morning to evening classic organ.
