Celestion Alnico Blue 12'' Speaker 8 Ohm 15W
The Blue found favour with notable guitarists like Brian May, due to its glorious dampened attack, warm lows, mellow upper-mids and brilliant belllike top-end. When coupled with a suitable amplifier it evokes rich definition and develops beautiful musical compression when pushed. According to tone enthusiasts worldwide, the Blue is the benchmark for guitar speaker perfection.

Like one of the other reviewers, I put this speaker in a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe. I built mine from a Mission Kit. Fabulous sounding amp with the Weber 12a125a speaker i put in. But it was frustrating in a band setting - just not enough clean headroom to be heard in a club unless pushed well into the dirt zone. I finally bit the bullet and shelled out the dough for the Celestion Blue. SO GLAD I DID! My 5E3 is much more giggable with the Blue. The Cele blue gives the extra punch and headroom I was hoping for. The 4 to 5 extra db of sensitivity over the vintage Jensen types makes the Blue quite a bit louder - just what I needed to be able to actually use the beautiful cleans the 5E3 circuit can provide. And the tone? Absolutely stunning across the whole spectrum! VERY happy with this speaker.
