Celestion 12i Bookshelf speakers review
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...
Celestion 15 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion 15

The floor Celestion 15 is apotheosis of Unit series. However, it is said perhaps too much, because all the line is oriented on budget audio systems. The manufacturer does not also exclude the variant of using this model as the front speaker systems in inexpensive systems of home theater. The feature...
Celestion 23i Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion 23i

One of the most respected manufacturers of audio, a well-known British company Celestion, in the recommendations does not need. In connection with this interest in acoustics from Celestion is always high. Recognizable design 23i is also preparing for a serious outcome. Already from the first chords Dire...
Celestion 3 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion 3

The diminutive Celestion 3, like the similarly new DL12 Series II, is the work of a talented young designer at Celestion, Martin Roberts, who was given the unenviable brief of producing a substantially new design whilst keeping to a very tight budget. These constraints meant a reappraisal of where best...
Celestion 30i Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion 30i

Compared with the model 23i, 30i got more expensive extra speaker and along with it - 3-way speakerd qualifications. From a comparison of the frequency characteristics of the two systems, it follows that increasing the number of lanes through the introduction of additional midrange head certainly stabilized...
Celestion 5 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion 5

Although we are taught the relationship between the side lengths and the volume of a "rectangular solid" at school, it can remain surprising how small an increase in the former is required to produce a very large change in the latter. This Celestion 5 has an internal volume of exactly one and a half...
Celestion AVP305 5.1 system review
5.1 system Celestion AVP305

Aluminium enclosures "toughest nuts" from AVP305 made by stamping, but look like a cast. Experience strengthens steel gleam diffusers. Stand satellites can be used as a wall-mount bracket to secure it in the appropriate slot. At another stand AVC301: wall mounting is not provided. 210-mm driver and elliptical...
Celestion C2 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion C2

We continue to explore C series of speaker systems from Celestion. Shelf C1 left entirely positive impression. Stylistically assonant C2 will undoubtedly decorate a modern interior and laconism of its elegance, in return, do not place excessive demands on furniture. High-frequency head is carefully protected...
Celestion C3 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion C3

C3 - the third and most powerful system C Series British Celestion. Smaller line representatives - Bookshelf C1 and floor C2 - left a very good impression. Recall that all housing made of aluminum with three-millimeter thick - it comes with screws fastened the back-side portion and the top cover. The...
Celestion DL8 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion DL8

The DL8 loudspeaker makes some of the advanced technology used in Celestion's very expensive SL6 and SL600 speakers available in a much more affordable price range. One of the most distinctive features of Celestion's SL600 speaker system, which we tested last year, is its thin copper-foil tweeter, whose...
Celestion E3 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion E3

British Celestion has updated its "repertoire" by the release of new line of classical acoustics, ritually outlining it with alphabetic "E" index. The series has five systems: from 125-watts shelf E1 to 200-watts meter floor speaker system E5. A small floor two-way E3 takes a strictly middle position...
Celestion F15 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion F15

The F15 is one of two representatives of the British Celestion F series that have not yet been tested with us. The line contains a pair of shelf and floor models plus speakers of the center channel and an active subwoofer. Of the "excesses" of the F15 - the possibility of separate switching ranges. Good...
Celestion F18 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion F18

Two-way layout of speaker systems with 19-mm titanium tweeter equipped with divider and woofer made of the impregnated cellulose is a trade mark of Celestion in latest times and the producers probably won't intend to deviate from this tradition. The finish of loudspeakers F18 doesn't particularly arrest...
Celestion F2 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion F2

The Celestion F2 enclosure is well designed, neat and well built. The developers did not set out to get deep bass from the system for this money - also a good sign. So, there is reason to count on the real sound quality of the main informational aspect of music. The appearance of the speakers convinces...
Celestion F20 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion F20

Two-way F20 is the direct heiress of the model F2. The lineage of F20 is well read in its appearance. New heads are used in the system, so separation filters were undergone to a certain modernization. The tweeter, unlike the installed one on the prototype, emits by titanium membrane and LF/MF-driver...
Celestion F3 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion F3

The flagship of F-series is on 10 cm higher than F2, but this was enough in order to place an additional low-frequency head on the faceplate. It turns off already above 200 Hz by the filter of low frequencies, and then the identical midrange, based on combined with woofer air volume by back side of the...
Celestion F30 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion F30

Design of the system from fresh generation of F series by Celestion is in the style of the prototype, but changes in the construction were significant. The new F30 has bigger volume of acoustic design (in comparison with its predecessor - F3), new drivers are installed. MF/LF drivers are now equipped...
Celestion F38 Floor standing speakers review
Floor standing speakers Celestion F38

The British company Celestion can be referred to the founders of the acoustic industry. As long ago as 1922 a serious research in the field of high-quality sound reproduction began here and the production of monitors for broadcasting was established.

Celestion SL6 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion SL6

The development engineers at Celestion have been living a double life for the past couple of years. On one level they have been maintaining, and adding to, their popular Ditton range of loudspeakers. The most recent models under this heading are the Ditton 100 and Ditton 110 (£69.90 and £89.90...
Celestion SL700 Bookshelf speakers review
Bookshelf speakers Celestion SL700

Very few high-quality loudspeaker designs leap in one bound on to the hi-fi stage, and this Celestion SL700 has emerged from a whole series of metamorphic designs which we have followed with interest in these pages. It all began with the SL6. This compact loudspeaker had been developed using new laser...
