Remarkably similar sound to all 5 speakers! It's what one might expect from a great manufacturer such as Celestion, but what's most interesting (to me anyway) is the amount of refinement in even the oldest of these speakers. The journalists who wrote in all the hi - fi rags in the '80's proclaiming that these couldn't play a tune to save their lives were talking out of their backsides! Wonderful stuff! Thank you Kevin for this exposition.
They all sounded quite similar, but some sounded a tad more open than others. However I did think the female voice sounded very very slightly cuppy on all of them.. To be fair that could be You tube compression, the JBL monitors connected to my pc etc.. so I am probaly not hearing it as it is in your room. Regardless though really interesting comparison thank you

Celestion, wow. One of the first speakers I ever heard at the first "real" audio shop I visited back in the 90s.

Famous vintage model

2-3 instruments and audiophile voice for testing - come on!
If you bother to look further into this channel you’ll find other recordings of these speakers.
Thanks for watching
A track like this is far superior to do a short comparison between several speakers in my opinion, especially vocal, piano and bass guitar.
Would have been fun to hear your tweaked Celestion 100 in this comparison video. They sounded great in your sound test video of a few months ago.
I’ve just started a new project pair of SL’s. Once they’re done I’ll video all of them in a big comparison video
Great demo 👍
