Celestion Price Increase....

Post by PorkyPrimeCut » Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:22 am

If you're thinking of buying (like myself) get your order in before Friday!!

A friend forwarded me this......

WATFORD VALVES NEWSLETTER

### CELESTION SPEAKER PRICE  INCREASE ###

Celestion will be imposing a dramatic price increase on all it products as of close of business on Friday 27 th February.
This will see the price of a Vintage 30, for example move from £59.95 to £75.
We will have to increase our prices inline with Celestions policy and with the current economic condition Celestion will not rule out future price rises.

If you are thinking of buying any Celestion speaker then we can hold all our current pricing until Friday 27 th February.

The more expensive Celestion items Such as Blue,Gold, and Hertitage range will see the biggest increases.

We have stock of all current items for immediate dispatch.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Yeah, bummer eh?

I only need the one speaker but have absolutely no way of buying it this week.

My only hope is that the guy who's building the cab has some in stock that he can sell at the original price.

I would consider one of these http://warehousespeakers.com/proddetail ... teran30_12 for $65 before i dropped $150 on a (made in china) vintage 30 with celestion's name on it.  the weber v30 https://taweber.powweb.com/weber/ is another alternative for $100.

yeah, it really is a bummer, especially as I really, really like Celestion speakers :(

the Gold 12" I have in my Tweed Deluxe is incredible, it makes me cry how good it sounds  8)


maybe the guy who's doing your cab has one in stock and he can do the cool thing and sell it to you at the old price, especially as he would of bought it pre-price increase?

might be worth emailing him and finding out :)

I'd rather buy Weber speakers than Celestion. Better prices and, IMO, better quality.
