Revel F30 vs Celestion A3:please help to decide

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.

I used to have SL700SE. I am always afraid that once the tweeter or woofer broke, I will never get a replacement. Therefore, I sold that pair.

I have not listend to F32, however, I have listened to Ultima Salon. The Salon is definitely much better than my old SL700SE. If I were you, I'd better get F32, since the company is still around.

Hi,
My response is probably a bit late, but here goes. True, Celestion did come out with some so-so designes in the mid 90's not representative of what we expected from a reputable manufacturer. And now they're back to the same 10 years later after being bought by an Asian consortium. But the A series that ran from late 90's to early 2000's was short of spectacular. I know since I did own a pair of A3's (flagship during this generation). I also tried them on numerous amps, solid state and tube, and they worked fine with all of them. Having an efficiency of 90db/w/m and nominal impedance of 4 ohms did help. But they can take A LOT of power. I ran them for a while with a KRELL FPB 300c, WOW! The REVEL'S are also good but can't match the A3's the the bass. I found the A3's hard to beat for the price. One of the best bangs for the buck. By the way my Bro has a pair for sale. Anyone interested?
