You’ll need to spend in excess of $10K to equal the Ditton 66 in terms of full range power response. Focal Kanta 3 would be one to check out. Expect greater resolution and more articulate bass with lower coloration overall. If this is way out of the budget, sit tight and enjoy. Maybe try new speaker cables.
Celestion Ditton 66’s. ‘Upgrade’ to modern speakers consequences?
I have some vintage Celestion Ditton 66’s that have had their crossovers professionally recapped and serviced. All speaker units are in excellent condition.
My question is.. what might I gain and what might I lose (sonically not financially..) by replacing them with high quality large/floor standing speakers manufactured in the last decade or so?
My amplification set up is a Yamaha C4 preamp and a Yamaha 2200 power amplifier both recently recapped and serviced.
Source is mostly streaming Tidal or CD player via a Chord Hugo DAC, and occasionally some vinyl.
