Celestion Peacekeeper Speakers - Cranked Amps/Reduced Volume?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Reading this article this morning in Guitar World that Celestion is coming out with an "ear-saving" Peacekeeping speaker that allows you to crank your tube amp to its natural saturation level, but the speaker has a built-in attenuation to keep the volume levels down.  

Maybe this means I can use a 4x12 cabinet as a bedroom amp?  :)

Celestion’s ear-saving Peacekeeper speaker lets you dial in the “sweet spot” of a driven amp at modest volumes

It does come in at about 14dB lower, which is quite a bit.   The question will be if the tonal balance is similar to something like the Vintage 30 or G12-75.   It's not just the volume, but the "sound"!

But from what I see, it's an interesting idea.

There was a similar speaker unveiled 7 to 10 years ago.  It had a dial on the magnet that reduced the speaker’s efficiency.  This one has a cream color which is Celestion’s most popular.  I’m interested, as I was before, like before, I’ll wait for a myriad of positive feedbacks.
