The power of internet forum. Discussion going on for 17 years! I own Celestion's 3000 also. It was hard to find proper amp for them but finally with Hitachi HCA HMA 7500 Mk II they sound beautiful. I remember when I first switched on the Hitachi my reaction was: "F@#$! Finally I know how so called 'high end' sounds!". I would like to try 7000s in future for lower bass. As said before you HAVE to seat on ribbons level if you want to hear ANY treble. However changing your position from left to right make less trouble than with standard boxes. When you sit in line with let say left speaker you still can hear right speaker very well.
I bought new old stock crossovers for them but still did not replace the old ones so can't say if there is any difference. My pair is 100W 4 Ohm but saw 5000s (which are just same speakers with different veneer) with 8 Ohms on their back plate (mistake in the factory?).
