Celestion SL12si any thoughts and history?


Hello All...

I am enjoying my Dynaudio BM6A's and will post a review soon..

We needed some deck speakers and I just bought a pair of Celestion SL12si on E-bay for $ 201 usd. They are currently being shipped to me.

I can't find much on the net about them. I see one pair is for sale on Agon for $ 600 usd with an original px of $ 2000 usd listed.

Did I score an underpriced gem here? Any info or experience much appreciated.

Good luck with your purchase. I owned a pair of the SL-6s's for years. It was always a top-rated system. The "i" version was even better (more open sounding due to some crossover changes, I believe). The Model 12 doubles up on the bass-midrange driver, with, obviously, a bigger cabinet.
For $200, how could you go wrong? As long as the speakers are in good condition, I think you did well. Just don't expect a real "hi fi" type of sound; I remember the Celestions as very smooth and listenable.
