Awesome Speaker!!
Seegs2 04.07.2014
One of the 3 new speakers released by Celestion, the A Type is supposed to be a high headroom American voiced speaker. I really don't hear that. I bought it to replace a Celestion Gold to give my Morgan RG15 more headroom and volume for gigs. The Morgan is similar to a Vox AC15.

It does have more headroom but that is mostly because the bass is very tight and punchy, unlike the Gold where the bass end breaks up. The A Type also does not have the British chime or top end sparkle of the Gold but it has a nice and round and warm top end that is still clear. This speaker sounds great clean and also over drives very creamy smooth.

The most surprising thing is that it sounds better with a Vox style amp than it does with my 64 Blackface Bassman. In the Bassman I love 10" Golds and use 3 of them.

Warm speaker to fill up a boxy cab
MMihai3 23.01.2020
I ordered this speaker to compensate for the boxy tone of my Fender Bassbreaker 15 combo because, with the V-Type the amp was originally provided with, the tone was too thin and boxy. This A-Type speaker did exactly what I was expecting it to do.

The tone of the A-Type is wide, has more bass than the V-Type and I think it is a bit louder - though I did not perform a shootout. It sounds full, sweet and creamy. I would not recommend it in a dark sounding cabinet.

The speaker could be mounted with no issues - only the poly membrane, inside the screw holes, needed to be punched - it is soft, though.

Good upgrade
Andrew822 17.10.2022
I got fed up of my blues junior 3 sounding a bit too bright and I would have to turn the treble down low and the bass up high. This speaker upgrade helps a lot now my settings are useable all set half way. Was happy with results then found out that the BJ4 uses this actual speaker LOL. Still it gave the 3 a re fresh so I am happy with that and not too expensive.

Toller aber untypischer Speaker aus dem Hause Celestion
Mr.Rock 09.01.2017
Celestion ist DER britische Speakersound.
Mit dem A Type versucht der Traditionshersteller von britischen Gitarrentönen eine Interpretation des AmiRockSounds abzuliefern.
In der Tat klingt dieser Lautsprecher "anders", aber das war genau das, was ich suchte, ohne in Richtung Electro Voice EVM abzudriften. Den EVM 12 habe ich auch im Einsatz.
Im Mittenbereich ist der A Typ, Celestion untypisch, nicht überbetont. Es fehlt der leicht nasale Part im Soundbild, den ich von meinen Greenbacks kenne und liebe.
Clean klingt er toll ungefärbt. Mit einem gut verzerrenden Amp, wie meinem Laney Ironheart, entwickelt der A Typ seine Qualitäten. Es ist eine wahre Freude, wie dieser Speaker das Riffing unterstützt. Direkt, räumlich, ehrlich mit viel Druck, bei höheren Lautstärken.
In Kombination mit meinem JVM bleibt kein Auge trocken. Es ist unfassbar, wie der Speaker den Sound formt. Es sind wie zwei total unterschiedliche Amps, je nach dem, ob der JVM an Greenbacks oder an dem A Type hängt.
Ich spiele den Speaker in einer alten 2 x 12 Fenderbox, umgebaut für 1 x12 Betrieb. Er ist geschlossen. Das ist wichtig....

Wer einen etwas anderen Ton sucht, sollte zugreifen.
