Description: CELESTION 3 SPEAKERS A bookshelf system that weighs 8-1/4 pounds and measures only 12-1/4 inches high, 7-1/4 inches wide, and 8-5/8 inches deep, the Celestion 3 has a wooden cabinet finished in black and a removable black cloth grille. When the grille is removed, the speaker resembles a half-size version of Celestion’s SL-6Si, with what appears to be a 5-inch paper-cone woofer operating in a sealed enclosure and a 1-inch aluminum-dome tweeter. The binding posts recessed into the rear of the cabinet accept banana plugs, stripped wire ends, or open lugs.From the web: “The Celestion 3 uses a 1" titanium-dome HF unit with a narrow surround to cover the two audio octaves from 5kHz on up. This is constructed on a rectangular plastic plate that bolts to the baffle, with three narrow, horizontal strips providing a degree of protection. Covering what in effect is the remaining 61/3 octaves is a conventional-looking paper-cone unit, again constructed on a rectangular plastic plate. A large half-roll surround suggests some serious excursion capability; bass alignment is sealed-box. The crossover consists of four elements—a ferrite-cored inductor in series with the woofer to roll out the highs, and a second-order shunt air-cored coil/series capacitor network in the tweeter feed, with a series resistor used to lower the HF unit's sensitivity—all glued to the rear of the plastic terminal plate. On one of the review pair, the woofer inductor had broken free of its glue patch and was hanging suspended by its lead-out wires—not a recipe for long-term reliability. The terminal posts themselves are of reasonable quality for such an inexpensive design, with a hex profile and enough room around them to fit stiff cables.CONDITION: These are in good sounding condition. Tested and working perfectly. The wood cabinets have recently been painted black to cover a horrible pink/purple job done years ago. Grilles show a bit of dust in the crevices, but are in good condition as well! See video below to see/hear these speakers working. Watch Video Video will open in a new window Using the eBay App?
