Celestion Neo 250 Copperback 8ohm 250W Guitar Speaker – Made in UK / New in Box

$ 225.00

Sacrificing none of the delicious musicality of your favourite Celestions, the Neo 250 Copperback is a neodymium speaker that supplies tons of tone without the signature cone break-up immediately associated with the classic Celestion growl.
It’s definitely not the “brown sound”, but for those wanting more transparency and less midrange vocal intensity the Neo 250 reveals the best from your amplifier and playing without additional colouration. The speaker’s unique response has a tight low end, neutral low mids, a clear, open upper-mid definition and well-controlled high treble, meaning you can shift from shimmering tubular-bell-like cleans to “flute-like” high gain with simply a tweak of the drive knob. Rated at a monstrous 250-watts, the Neo 250 works together with your amp to provide unparalleled dynamics, delivering all the headroom and touch sensitivity you could possibly need. And built with a neodymium magnet, you get all this power and tone weighing in at a modest 5.5lb (2.6kg).”

Celestion also introduced this speaker thusly:
“While classic Celestion speakers offer the signature midrange presence and growling breakup that has led the music community to consider them one of the most important elements of British guitar tone, the Neo 250 Copperback is designed with a different goal in mind. That goal is to be more tonally transparent, allowing more of the best sonic characteristics of the amplifier and instrument to come through. With its overall light weight of under 5.5 pounds (thanks to a neodymium magnet), the Neo 250 Copperback likewise preserves all the intentions that the fingers of the musician want to express, with an exceptional level of detail and nuance.
 
In contrast to other guitar and general-purpose speakers that boast transparency, the Neo 250 Copperback preserves the musicality and organic quality that makes Celestion so sought after. Without adding additional coloration, its tight lows, neutral low mids, open upper mid definition, and well-controlled high treble let the guitarist go from shimmering, bell-like clean tones to almost flute-like high gain, merely by tweaking the amplifier’s drive knob.
 
Last but not least, the extraordinary power rating of 250 watts ensures the Neo 250 Copperback can comfortably be driven by the latest high-output and digital amp technology, which many higher-tech guitarists find appealing. At the same time, its efficient sensitivity of 100dB means it will sing clearly in amp setups and signal chains preferred by tonal purists.
 
Whether it’s a driver upgrade or replacement in an existing amp or a completely original build, the Neo 250 Copperback is the best transducer to let amplifiers — and musicians — sound their truest.
