Really made in UK?

The following should address such questions/concerns:

  • It says “Made in UK” on the sticker on the unopened manufacturer box that it ships in (see photo).
  • There is a thick manufacturer’s sticker that says “Made in UK” on the side of the speaker’s back cover. 
  • In the photo you can zoom in and see that the large circular sticker on the back of the magnet cover reads “Celestion International”.  This does not indicate that it is not made in UK, even if it once did.
