So I'm guessing the $350 that people pay for the originals is what?Originally posted by Blueser
That is absolute robbery for a ceramic speaker! I don't care if it was made by little elves who were sprinkling Jimi dust on them!
Well maybe if it was Jimi dust!![]()

Well, since Celestion is not allowing Dave at Avatar to sell these speakers, I was wondering if anyone might know where I can get them at a decent price.
I did. He is only selling the 16 ohm version because he believes they most closely emulate the originals. I need an 8 ohm. He suggested I wire two 16's together to achieve 8 ohms.Originally posted by sampleinajar
Contact George Allesandro. He helped with the development of these speakers (along with EJ), and will be one of the first dealers for them.

Nice idea if your cabinet is not a 1x12. However, mine is.
Just for the record, in almost 300 Celestion purchases in the last five years, I've never seen the G12H30 55hz 8 ohm speaker. That speaker is the T1460, according to the Doyle book.Originally posted by jaimo

Rick Skillman (fit2btied, Celestion OEM sales mgr) and I are getting together next week to do a comparison. I understand that Greg Germino is getting some G12H's in and will be doing an A/B comparison to mine, although the G12H's are 55 hz, and mine are 75hz, so there's some differences. Greg didn't care for the 55 hz versions of mine, but loves the 75 hz version. I venture to say that if Celestion made their's true to the original 102 014 cones, then Greg probably won't like them, either, but we'll see.
Keep in mind though, I have four variations of each of the G12M's and the G12H30's. Two of mine are like the Heritages. The other six are the others that Celestion used to make (and haven't decided to remake), and the "in between" or higher wattage models they never did make.
That's the beauty of working with Ted. I come up with an idea, tell Ted how/what I think it should be made and how it should sound and he delivers. I've yet to figure out the downside to that arrangement. The speakers he makes for me weigh in at 7 lbs +/- and a Heritage G12H is 10.4 lbs. Same tone, less weight, less money.
If there's something wrong with that, please point it out to me so I can correct it as soon as possible.![]()
Please do, Braciola! At least one TGP member has gotten his SA12M-55 recone back, but I'll let him tell you about it. I'm pretty certain you'll dig the tone.Originally posted by Braciola
Hey Jim!
Still waiting on my SA-12-55 recone from Ted. Can't wait to hear it!
I'm sure I will be purchasing one or more of the G12H Heritage Celestions also.
I'll give my comparison of the two as soon as I'm able to A/B them.
Ted Weber has a very cool gizmo box that matches any speaker impedance to any OT impedance. Pretty cheap, about $100.Originally posted by jaimo
