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.

I made a similar purchase a year ago - but paid a bit more - $275. Best money I ever spent on speakers. They have the traditional 'polite' Celestion sound, great imaging, tight bass (such as it is), etc. I'm curious how SL6's would sound in the same room, or in other words, whether the extra driver helps or hurts. I may buy a set just for fun to see.
Only downside is you need a powerful amp - those Celestions are very inefficient. And forget getting replacment parts - particularly the tweeters, which can go bad on you.
Enjoy!!
