LN

These are not NIB (New In Box).  They are instead LN.  By LN, we mean the following:

1. They are in their Original Manufacturer Box.
2. The manufacturer seal on this OEM box has not been broken.
3. They have not been sold (they are new).
4. These new speakers have unopened OEM boxes that may have some small dents or blemishes that would not have made contact with the speaker but may have increased the amount of travel the speaker has inside the box.  The OEM boxes may also have other cosmetic blemishes (such as removed stickers) that should not impact the function of the speaker.
5. While double boxed, they were shipped singly, instead of together in a larger box.  So you may hear and feel the speaker traveling inside the new OEM box more than you usually would.  Upon request, we can open and reinforced/repair the OEM box internally to secure the speaker for transport after inspecting the speaker per below.

Open Box Option

Our opened boxes have passed our 11-point inspection which means they do NOT have the following when we ship them out:

• bent/warped rim or basket
• wrinkled/warped/creased cone
• coil-rub
• non-standard incursion and excursion under electrical load

This speaker

Does not have increased travel within it’s box.  It deviates from stock listing photo in that it’s only cosmetic blemish is on the top of OEM box where it looks like some shipping rope made an small indentation.

Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm speakers – History

The Celestion Red Back 16 Ohm guitar speaker is revolutionizing the new vintage guitar speaker corner of the guitar speaker world. The Celestion Red Back 16 Ohm guitar speaker is similar to the “second generation” Creamback, the G12H-75 Creamback (75W):  It has the heavy magnet, but far more wattage. I would call the Redback 3rd generation.

Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm speakers – One speaker instead of 4!

The Celestion Red Back 16 Ohm guitar speaker offers so much more power handling (150W) that you may not even need a cabinet.  Just put one of these in your head cabinet. Lighten your load, and play it loud!  That is the revolution in new vintage guitar speakers that I am talking about.  This is huge for us.

Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm speakers – Power & Vintage Tone

The Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm guitar speaker has the maximum power handling without compromising classic vintage tone. Boasting a whopping 150-watts, the Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm guitar speaker is constructed with:

1. a supersized 2-inch voice coil
2. heaviest G12 magnet
3. somehow it is not any heavier than 2nd generation (Creambacks)

The result is a guitar speaker that produces classic new vintage Celestion tone, yet can be connected safely to a 100-watt head (amplifier) all by itself.  With the Celestion Red Back 8 Ohm guitar speaker, you no longer need to choose between power and tone.

1. tight, well-controlled low end
2. detailed midrange
3. more relaxed treble

Thinking of downsizing your cabinet?  Imagine 100 watts coming out of one speaker instead of 4.  That should be easier on your back, and take up less space in your vehicle than a 4×12 guitar speaker cabinet.
