Celestion 10 inch speakers

[TelZilla]

looking at some 10” Celestion speakers. Ive always liked the G10 greenbacks. Im wondering about the G10 Gold.

what makes them so much more $$$&? Sure, theyre alnico not ceramic. What else?

AlNiCo is costly.
No flies on a Greenback though. A truly beautiful instrument.

I think the Golds are made in England. Also supply and demand.

You also have the new 10" Creamback to check out.....................

The GB 10 is also made in the UK.

Cobalt, baby. Stuff ain't cheap.

The creambacks are well worth the money. The alnico creams are unreal but alas no tens yet.

Whats the idea of the creambacks?

Whats the idea of the creambacks?

The notion was Greenback tone w a higher power rating.

I think there's a really good celestion comparison video on Johan Segeborn page. Also the Celestion site has very good clips

I bagged a pair of Silver Series (Chinese) Celestion 10s used for $40, and they have been on point. I use them in a 2X10 extension cab for larger rooms and outdoor gigs. Not high miles exactly, so I can't speak to lifespan, but I suspect they'll be around well after my show is over.

Which of their 10" speakers has the lowest sensitivity?

The Silver Series was made in the UK. I have a 12V60 in one amp, and it is a good speaker. They were the Celestion lower price speakers before they had the Chinese factory.

The Greenback, G10N-40, and the Ten 30 all clock in at 95db@1watt. These are current production.

I just put a GB into my Pro Jr. Sounds awesome, and still not broken in. Also shaved off 4 pounds from the Weber 10F150-T that was in it before.

would you think a greenback 10 would be a good match for a clone of blackface Champ and tweed champ (switchable circuit) for home playing (blues, rock) ?
I look for low efficiency speaker and greenback 10 and WGS Veteran 10 are on my list.

I know greenback is more associated with marshall tone, which I also like to approach form time to time (if my amp allows it, or with pedals).
