“Custom designed for VOX”?- Celestion Greenback G12M

[Dacious]

Celestion guys who have both (Blues were also made in China for a while) say there's absolutely no difference in tone in new ones regardless of origin once broken in. Old ones sound a bit different to both, because of differences in parts and age. The bits are made on the same tooling. Celestion controls the factory output in China. If you want to pay extra for a made in Britain sticker you can. Anything Nightrain would be Chinese.

I had a Bletchley made 2525 made 2014 - Chinese Greenback. Sounded - like a Greenback.

Not sure if this is still true but other than the Alnico Blue which is/was made in England, all other speakers are made in China. Just like every other product is.

Mesa Boogie branded Celestions (C90, V30) were always made in UK.

The only parallel I can think of is the Vox VX10 that they put in the current AC10. It's a Celestion Ten 30 and the only difference I can discern is the 3" dust cap instead of the smaller, standard one.
