Celestion SL6S


Hey all,

I picked up a pair of Celestion SL6S speakers in really good shape.  I had a pair of these, back in the early 90’s.  I always really enjoyed them and thought, hey, buy another set…

I got them hooked up in my system:

MacBook Pro > Denafrips Ares2 > Rega Elicit-R > Celestion SL6S

what I’m finding is the the treble is really rolled off sounding, more so than I remembered.  I’ve put my ear next to each driver and they are all playing.

Anybody have any thoughts on what can be causing the rolled off treble?

My tale involves my SL600's, not the SL6. I found them to be a bit bright, even with my Quicksilver Mono Amps. String tone was always just a tad thin. I also somehow managed to kill two tweeters.  Luckily, my dealer was able to install replacements each time. As a side note, one of the speakers fell to the floor, one day. Did I drop it? Or did a Southern California earthquake knock it off its stand?  The fall bent one of the speakers' corners, but the thing still worked fine.

 

Yeah, one more installment in my ongoing saga of stereo woe.
