Oh how I lurve the Celestion HF1300
Since I nicked the mid ranges drivers from the wife's JBLs to replace the Teufel units that died, the JBLs have been sitting rather forlornly in a hallway.
So, having a spare half hour today, I turned up a couple of wooden pieces to hold a spare HF1300. They sit in the old mid range hole and the tweeter plates are blanked off.
Every speaker I have put these Celestion units in has sounded terrific. The JBLs are far better as a simple 2 way. I'm using the standard Ditton 15 crossover. The bass is crisp and more tuneful, not sure why that should be and they are thoroughly enjoyable.
I now have a surfeit of speakers and I think a thinning out is in order. I reckon the Teufels will go first as they are actually worth money. The Quads of course, are with me for life.
Just had a bloke bring a dead pair of B&W 603 S2s round. Can't imagine how he managed it but the one I have looked at has the tweeter in bits and the main driver is burnt right through the spider and the surround has crisped nicely. The crossover looks fried too. Have to trawl eBay tonight, this could cost him a bit and probably not worth it - we will see.
