I recently broke the screw that attaches the speaker to a floor stand. I rang Celestion and they sent out replacement screws (to the Rep of Ireland no less) the next day and charged me nothing. Customer service with them (in my expierence) is 2nd to none.

Yes I know Google :)
I was just trying to get some comments what people think about the acquisition of Celestion by Goldpeak. It seems they haven't continued with the same passion what the original brand was promissing.
It's a pity when some times a good brand has to disappear when acquired by a bigger richer group with different mentality

They do seem to have a much lower profile these days. I used to have some DL6 series II, my first speakers (proper ones anyway) about 20 years ago. Nice sound but the metal tweeter was a little erm metallic sounding at times. In fact my dad uses them now and they still sound ok.

Strange really. While KEF have gone from strength to strength, Celestion seem to have been allowed to fall by the wayside somewhat.

Still, could be worse. They could have fallen the same way as JPW who made some half decent budget speakers at one time but now appear to have disappeared from the UK market.

Practically everybody. They're the definitive guitar speaker (though Electrovoice might argue).
