Many other manufacturers have tried to recreate the Celestion Blue sound in a higher powered driver, and some have come close. But only Celestion has the experience and know-how to emulate the tone and response of its own Alnico classic in a modern driver that's perfect for single or multiple applications in cabinets or combos.
I bought this speaker to replace the stock Mojotone speaker that came in my Savage Macht 12. Mind you, the Mojo was happening but had a little too much Greenback raspy breakup tone going on. This Gold Alnico is kind of like a '54 Cadillac. It's big, heavy and about as vintage cool as you can get. It's rated at 50 watts, but whatever you throw at it, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The only drawback if you are considering using it as a replacement speaker in your combo. Make sure you have rearward room. This thing is a fat speaker, the bell is huge and sticks out about 2" more than a regular Celestion. The plus side is that the clarity is unbelievable and the break up comes on right when you need it and sounds phenomenal. It's way expensive, but if you are into vintage, boutique tone. This is like having two Alnico Blues in one package. Oh yeah, it takes a little time to get used to it, about the time you are going to put your guitar down, you realize. Wow! This is bad to the bone. Hah! I got a Gold Alnico. This is somewhere in the middle of a Vintage 30 and a 25 watt greenback with Fender smooth. Go ahead, get it, stick it in your Matchless or your Orange or your Dr.Z or even your Marshall. Bottom line, it's warmer than the blue and can handle more watts. Go for it, you know you want it.
