- *****- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseOrdered a new grill for my IS250 and it arrived on time and in the condition advertised. Had a little trouble in eBay’s end providing the collection code for me to pick up but the seller resolved this quickly. Would recommend and buy more items.

The PC looks in excellent condition, but I won't be able to test it until after the new year. A+++ seller 100% recommended, a genuinely nice guy to buy from.

Beautiful sounding very High End quality pair of vintage collectors stereo speakers
This is a beautiful pair of Celestion A3 floor standers, one of the best speakers the company made and their flagship at time of production. All reviews are hugely positive.
The speakers pack a massive punch when needed but combine that with incredible sound stage and great mids.
Feet are spiked but with rubber caps so you can place either directly on flooring or carpet. Can also be levelled.
An interesting thing about experienced speaker outfits with firm roots in the PA sector is that they can all make respectable home hi-fi speakers if they decide to.
To my thinking, that immediate first-hand experience with the live music makers separates the men from the boys in the world of speaker design and manufacturing. In situ reality, not a sterile development lab where every little note and fart on a tired “reference” disc/tape has been heard a thousand times before.
The concert PA and recording studio is the real world where judgemental musicians, engineers, and producers are all quite attuned to what the speaker system mayor may not be doing to the very present and real original sound. It’s a demanding environment for loudspeaker designs which can bring the music home for us.
On the Yank side there’s JBL and the Electro-Voice affiliates including Altec and University Sound who have demonstrated in many variations, that when they feel like it, and are not too worried about costs, they can provide seriously fine studio and domestic systems.
On the “home” side of the globe there’s good old Tannoy with a very solid PA and studio heritage. You must salute them for their fame from scripts in many old B-grade British naval war movies. Who can forget worried Captain Sternjaw commanding the sonar operator to “Put it on the Tannoy”.
Wharfedale for decades supplied high quality speech and music re-inforcement for auditoriums throughout the UK.
Long time speaker maker (established 1926) Celestion is probably more world famous for supplying very high power drivers to king of the rock guitar amp makers Marshall than their breakthrough domestic metal domed tweeter SL-6 and its later derivatives.
Must be nice to be the maker of anything that musicians and concert fans “absolutely” demand such as “Marshalls full width across backstage and stacked up full to the ceiling”.
Engineering celestion_a3Daydreaming about a BIG sound, how about a comparably powerful hi-fi set-up via a huge wall of SL-6’s? Or how about a realistic speaker as good and refined as an SL-6 with real bass that can cleanly reach near rock band levels? Yes, that can, and has been done by Celestion with their new A3 model. Though it doesn’t take up very much stage space with its tall trim 113 x 28 x 40 cm (hwd) inert cabinet.
What designer Bob Smith of SL-6 fame has engineered for very reasonable money is simply amazing. His team has assembled English small refined “mini-monitor” detail and accuracy qualities with serious power handling and prodigious bass belting abilities.
Most importantly to me is the midrange – the polypropylene doped with flaked mica mid-range cone has been cleverly developed to offer optimum stiffness to break-up. It also behaves more as a piston of varying diameter in response to signal frequency. Laser interferometry vibrational analysis treatment for all drivers and the dense, rigid cabinet has everything tightly controlled to perfectly serve only the music au naturel.
Listening in
They haven’t forgotten dynamics either. I quickly found this out about three minutes after hooking them up and forming my initial impressions. Smooth, very clean and easy sounding, kind of like my lovely old Spendor SP-1’s. Then something on the Concert Programme walloped into a nice loud fortisimo section and the speakers perfectly popped this through giving me an unexpected shock with a rambunctious delivery of some solid dynamic splashes in what I think was a Rachmaninoff piece. I chuckled as I quickly turned down a bit and re-considered my first impression as “maybe not quite like the polite Spendors”.
A lively 92dB per watt sensitivity obviously helped that introductory “Rach-on” treat for me. This efficiency also means a huge amp is not required unless you’re pursuing extreme dynamic clarity.
I love acoustic instruments reproduced at realistic volume. A classic jazz quintet happily “playing right here” in my lounge is basically my idealised notion of “good hi-fi”. That’s why I like my old Tannoy Golds, because they can reasonably get some air moving, and not seem like they’re that loud till you try to talk over them. Eh? What’s that? I said the Celestions A3’s easily get the realistic volume aspect correct for un-amplified instruments!
For my money, the best part of this system is the midrange which is very electrostatic like in it’s clarity, detail and definition. And as mentioned it goes loud, but never gets muddled. Matter of fact it’s so good it’s probably the main reason that I predict this speaker will eventually become a true
