25 watts. 16-ohm version. Made in China.
Overview
Think of your all time favorite guitar solo - chances are it was played through Celestion loudspeakers. When a toughened G12 radio loudspeaker was combined with an early guitar amplifier back in the 50's, who could have imagined the sound would be so influential. But the soft, creamy overtones produced by an overloaded valve amp through a Celestion speaker had defined a whole new sound; one that powered the emerging guitar heroes of the period and, during the next 4 decades, became the undisputed Voice of Rock 'n Roll.
Be it Manchester Brit-pop, L.A. shred-metal, or Seattle grunge, it's more than likely coming at you through a Celestion. Most of the classic names in guitar amplification continue to rely on the unique tonal characteristics of Celestion loudspeakers to produce their trademark sounds.

"The Greenback debate!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I expect to use these speakers a long while yet.
Sound
I have used various Marshall "vintage amps through my Marshall greenbacked 4x12" A reissue 100 watt superlead plexi,DSL 2000 50 watt,a 79'JmP master lead 100 watt and even a 63' blackface bassman head. I play in a Hendrix tribute band and am constantly trying to improve "my sound" much the same as zillions of other guitar players. I find the combination of Marshall amps with this particular speaker cab and a strat to be lacking in mids, somewhat bass heavy and at times quite shrill. Having used other 4x12"s with celestion G12s and the vintage 30 I find I can achieve a more balanced sound, however I miss the early speaker breakup of the lower powered Greenbacks.I was thiking of changing the greenbacks for vintage 30's until I recently bought a Marshall jtm 45 Reissue..WOW! in my opinion they are a match made in heaven! I believe my problem was using a high powered amp and relying on speaker breakup, whereas with the lower powered JTM 45 it breaks up earlier(being only around 30 watts) I am now a happy man. I have talked to other guitar players who swear by the greenbacks, even one who uses them with a Boogie single rectifier head, so as the old saying goes "Suck it and see" try as many speakers with your own amp as possible, preferably in a live band situation. Don't listen to anyone, listen to your ears, and if it sounds good to you, go for it. You will save a lot of time and money if you do.… read more
