Celestion Blue in 30 watt amp?

[hhylkema]

The blues are rated at 15 watts, but I see them in AC30s all the time. I just picked up an Orange AD30 and was curious about pairing it with a blue. I won't even come close to cranking it. Is this a disaster waiting to happen or basically safe as long as you don't crank gain/ master. I welcome your thoughts.

AC30s are 30W and two 15W blues connected is series is 30W so it's good-to-go. Having only one 15W speaker would prob be trouble if you really cranked it but not so much if you were to play at bedroom volume.

That's helpful - thanks

They can handle about 22 watts when pushed. As lkft said, two 15W blues connected is series is 30W and OK. Otherwise, I recommend using a Celestion Gold or Celestion Cream alnico
