which Celestion 3-Way Speakers do you think these are ?

[Rixsta]

I noticed the other day a Freind of mine is using these speakers, Ive had a look and cant find who they are made by or a Model number on them.

Any ideas here ?



Thanks
Riki

Hi,

Trying to access the annals of my distant memory
can be spectacularly right or confusingly wrong,
I'm going for Celef PE1's.

rgds, sreten.

Definitely not Celestion. Yup, I'm with sreten on this one. They (Celef) did use drinking straws in the port (if I've seen them properly in the photo) and they also used that funny upper tweeter which just could be an original Motorola piezo (however you spell it!) diaphragm that you will find inside their very popular horn tweeters if you take the backing plate off.................I am open to correction on the latter point but I think I may be right.....I have tried to chase up other Celef units on the web in the past and found that there isn't a lot of info' on them......there was a funny model with FOUR B110's being chased up by some bods a few yrs ago who thought it might be a Celef unit and very little turned up.......pity.
Any Celef fans out their want to fill in the gap?
Cheers, Jonathan

Hey thanks loads.

Yep I think its the Celef PE1 or similar so that's cool. They sounded good but no idea what they would sound like on a Class A amp 😀

The piezo tweeter and the resistively loaded port are both Celef tell-tale signs.

A guy in a french forum says they actually are Proac 3-S, a declension of the Celef PE1, one of the first Proac speaker models:

Hi,

I was thinking of also mentioning Pro-Ac in my first post,
but decided not to, as I had no real idea, just an inkling,
but now I recall the PE1's having the piezo at the top.

So resorting to google, I think your right, PE1's :
