Introducing the Celestion Peacekeeper: A Revolutionary New Attenuating Speaker for Guitarists

Interesting!

It’s like a step backwards in regular speaker design, reducing efficiency, but makes a lot of sense nowadays. No IR required.

I don't think that youtube clip sounds that good though. Kinda thin sounding. I know it's just a sound clip, but still. It does not give me GAS. (Okay, the guy plays a Strat. Soundclips with Strats are always the worst. Why do they do this? Still, the Cremeback sounds better here).

I am so in love with the 1986 pair of 8ohm Celestion G12M-75's with the vented magnets that I bought two months ago. They sound extremely similar to the 65's from around the same time period. Killer speakers. Never knew 75's could sound this good. I put them in a Marshall and a Fender combo. Love what they did to the amps.

I rather go with speakers that I really like and use a attenuator than using a speaker that does not sound great. That would be a better compromise for me.

Hmm, from the title I was expecting variable attenuation, which would've been a neat trick. Still, I can see this being popular nowadays.

Maybe it's my headphones, but that thing sounds like a broken AM radio to me... Nope, it's not my headphones..

If Celestion could make 86db models of GBs, g12h, V30s, and the Blue, they’d sell silly amounts….but they’d have to sound like their full power counterparts….and I don’t know if that is physically possible.

Someone should invent low-watt amplifiers.

Eminence had something like that 10+ years ago the Reignmaker/Mavrick series. They didn't stay in the lineup long.

Eek gad... sounds like ass!

I have old organ speakers that sound much better than those

Low effiecient speakers are nothing new or revolutionary.
