Celestion Advice

mrn1989

I've just got a Palmer 2x12 closed back cab with Celestion Century Vintage prototype speakers. If I wanted to change one of them what would make a nice mix?

I prefer punchy mid and bass over mid and treble.

I mainly play pop, rock & blues using a Koch ST40XL

Any advice is appreciated

Quite a difficult choice because most of the models either emphasise bass *and* treble, or midrange. The proportions vary but one with bass and mids but not so much treble might be tricky… although since any of them will probably have more bass than the Century Vintage, maybe that will be enough.

I would look at the G12-65, or the new Creamback M65. Neither of them have really 'punchy' bass, but to get that you'd probably need an H-magnet speaker and they tend to have more top-end (or with the V30, upper mid).

But I would probably consider changing both of them anyway, if you don't want mid and treble. The Century I tried was *all* mid and treble.
