Celestion the brand name kinda sends shivers thru me but it was a one time Stereophile class A reccomended component.

I am the happy CELESTION A2 owner, and the sound they distill is pure magic. I had a pair of CELESTION 15 MKII speakers, released in the early 90's and "we were together" for 10 years, giving me a very nice sound. After this MKII models, Celestion just lost its mind! the brand started to build strange and confuse speakers oriented to a small musical sector (IMPACT series), but after this terrible fase, appeared the A series. Incredible finished and, the most important, the sound.

I got my A2's together with 2 bridgeable NAD power amps (giving 450 watts to 4 ohms)and how it works!

If you find a good bang for the buck in the A series, just go for it! you'll never be missed.
