Value For Money : Poor
So: what the 4x12 Celestion are not deemed to be the top brand. A priori, the design of the baffle is basic, not really different from 900. Yet, by dint of trying to repeat the various speakers and concerts, even mesa (my worst memory, and 2 times more! Is believed to please ...-, of Stiletto in a 4x12 vintage 30: infamous porridge) I came to realize the critical importance of this cabinet for my sound.

It is very (too) clean. Do not expect a vintage sound raspy, but to spread a very pure and clear, well balanced, "noble". It does not overflow bass or treble. Interest? whatever the place and the conditions under which you play, no surprise, you find your sound, unlike some expensive speakers in hostile environments. In addition, it provides a huge presence in the solo, and when to transplant: but happiness for the sound engineer for the report is easy to work on the front. In addition to the dispersion is excellent on stage. If you go to my myspace (profile), you can take a look and an ear on the videos: the sound of the camcorder is the scene, even without transplanting. So you have the right to criticize my sound as I set ;-)

One thing is sure: it is inconceivable to play on a head 800 (or other post 80's marshall for that matter) without the baffle, for he will bring the softness of her famous, and will highlight the marshall bite, more than any other brand speakers (JCM900, jvm 2000 or for that matter) really lower my taste.

Now for the actual sounds, this is probably not the most "about". But for a vintage sound, it will provide accurate and "smooth" sound, with great clarity in a group (so you do more excuses to put everything thoroughly).

If I had the need, the choice I would do without hesitation!

Edit (27/09/2008) on HP: not a big reputation, I said, yet recently the product Celestion Gt65 "reissue". Myself, I just bought G12T65 of 80 years to customize a 4x12 (V30 I have for sale soon). Apparently I'm not a fan of this sul hp, since it seems that mister Robben Ford team all caissons. And since the sound of the man, he has not really an ear out loud!
