CELESTION Ditton 66 | José James - Hello Like Before

[@Freedom89984]

This is why I love my Peavey classic guitar amp so much…it has Celestion 12 inch speakers inside 😍

[@davidt1459]

I wish I never sold mine. You can't replicate such clarity

[@margix1172]

Che casse...e che gusto!!! sempre uno dei migliori :-)

[@tedtanner]

Great to see these wonderful speakers driven by such a great front end. I have a pair of Ditton 66 speakers in great condition and just love them. Installed all new solens caps & had the tweeters replaced (and properly crossed over & integrated) with more modern soft domes & what an improvement! More focus, tightness & openness, huge scale, & just amazing depth and musical enjoyment & fun from these well designed classics. I've tried Focals, ProAc and others, and they have their strengths, but side by side nothing I've tried has been as all around full and enjoyable as these for me so far. Vintage HiFi goodness!

[@davealp669]

Hi there Ted, I have an unrefurbished pair of 66's from 1974. Do you know how I could go about bringing them back up to scratch?

[@tedtanner]

@@davealp669 Nice. Have the capacitors replaced, and perhaps upgrade the tweeters with modern soft domes or maybe even beryllium or ribbons. You'll need a good tech guy who can make sure they are crossed over properly so they integrate well with the midrange driver. You'll hear a big difference.

[@johnsweda2999]

@@tedtanner what tweeter model make did you use?

[@tedtanner]

@@johnsweda2999 Not exactly sure. My sound tech guy said they were from a pair of mission speakers and that the specs matched well. They do integrate very well though.

[@neilgriffin1375]

I have a pair of 44's which share the same HF2000 tweeters and my understanding was that these tweeters were still seen as benchmark drivers. Have had these speakers from new... 40 years. Probably time to look at the crossovers.

Amazing sound

Always love the old English sound which is more mellowed tonal musical tone than American made you more relaxing and enjoyment music .

Wow, almost the best sound from a lot of videos!

Thanks Sound sommelier! Up for next Spendor A series please! if you still have a set 👍👍👍 And Be Healthy! God Bless Italy! 🙏

Great sealed speakers, man they sound good for their age even at far away distances .

not sealed - got a passive Radiator, bass reflex design.

Hello. I love theses speakers. I would like to know with your expérience. Between theses and the sony SS-G3, for this type of music, rock and blues. Which one do you recommand to me ?

[@AquaFreak]

Celestion hf 2000 and MD 500 great drivers, blast to the past mine speakers original Hansbaan HB10 mk4 transmission line use celestion hf 2000 / kef b139 / kef t52 and Peerless mid drivers mk1 used kef b110's. These speakers wil amaze you and show what an amazing quality they made in those years 1970~1980

Love the sound of this pair of vintage speakers...I have the vintage Spendor S100... Did you ever compare the two?...I'd love to hear someones take on what sound they prefer❓

[@davidrivera2165]

These Celestion's are refurbished or the best mint condition 44 year old speakers I've seen. Fantastic, thanks.

[@rockysullivan4097]

Wow!!!!

[@parisstromatias637]

How I wish you can find a pair of the 90s Tannoy D700s and you can demonstrate them in your channel for some reason nobody can't find their for demo maybe you are the only person on earth that I believe you can find them. Thank you for your great work you are doing

[@spade_4manager674]

Grew up to music from my dad's 1975 Celestion Ditton 44 Looking for that pure sound again. Where can I get these beauties, in good condition?

[@leebarrett9581]

I’d love to see my wife’s expression if I kitted out our living room like this,

[@margix1172]

It would probably be one of the most beautiful piece of furniture

[@BRB499]

Awsome sound.. as always :) Hope you and your family are in good health...

[@SoundSommelier]

Thanks Bjørn, yes we are 👍

[@George_K.]

These truly sound delightful (especially for their time), but honestly I think they're challenged by this song in particular the bass is kind of disconnected and some of the trails of the keys' sparkle are sounding dissonant at times 01:40 (makes me wonder if the speaker is too slow). I could be wrong and it's all due to positioning, but I'm glad I found this channel.

[@Justwantahover]

The top end is particularly good (excellent upper highs) but the piano is a bit iffy and colored but better on the higher notes (sparkling treble notes). But the voice sound is muffly and "in the box". Bass is a bit lost (as you said).The recording maybe, or the old speakers maybe (no speaker is perfect) and positioning may help (as you said).

[@Justwantahover]

Check out the Triangle floor standing (horn tweeter) speakers. Good treble. Then check out the Cube Audio floor standing (single driver) speakers. They fail badly in the treble, with terrible "S's" on the voice sound. And I'm a fan of single driver speakers (so it's not my bias) but the Cube Audio speakers are the worst I heard on KZbin for treble (lol). And colored in the mid to upper med (and can sound harsh, they might say "lively"). lol I can't believe they actually think they sound good. Really hissy resonance in the treble (at around 7 khz) and it blocks any detail. I tried them on a few demos on KZbin and still the same hissy treble. And they are really EXPENSIVE, with la-de-da people selling that snake oil. Fostex are way better and Fostex aren't expensive.

[@el34glo59]

I love it.

[@el34glo59]

That warmth followed by that kick that clear af is amazing

[@1protos]

What mic are you using? Sounds pretty good for a camera mic.

[@cyelannford4735]

I hate passive radiators, but the domes make up for this... Great speakers!! 😋😋

[@mrpositronia]

Yes, please.

[@adaboy4z]

This is a New Brand to my ears. Love those old school designs. My main speakers are 1980 Beovox S80 in pristine condition. I couldn't believe how well taken care of they were, found them in a thrift store for $40. I just re-foamed the surrounds.

With passive radiators in 1976.

[@kantoff1]

There are no resistors in these speakers, only capacitors and coils

[@kantoff1]

They play better with a lamp. It's a little dry with the transistor

[@ysk249]

I have had several sets of Harbeths (SHL5, C7, P3ESR, etc...) and I've AB compared with vintage Celestion speakers. Celestions are simply hands down better.
