Celestion Neo Centuries????????

[richedie]

Anyone try these and like them???

I have been using them for some time and am doing gear testing today. One thing I am doing is Speaker swaps. I am not sure I can hear a huge difference with the Neos over other speakers except maybe a bit tighter and more immediate. This may or may not be a good thing depending on the person. It really is hard to hear huge differences with all these speakers.

Anyone have an opinion on the Neos? I am wondering if the weight savings may be worth it after all.

I had the century vintage
sounds close to the v30, but it's way cleaner, tighter, a bit less middy and has a hair more low end and treble
it has a faster response also
great speaker after you smooth the cone
sounds pretty growly with "saggy" type power amps
and it weights 1/3 of a v30

I have a video with it

Today I have been doing a Neo Century vs. CL-80/12T-85 showdown and the difference is really slight. I am going to keep the CL80/85 in for now and in a few weeks come back and switch to the Neos and see if I miss anything.
