none so far

Sond clarity , delail et deep bass .I bought t5hese used last year and I m still amazed ,I did owned Keff ,B&W ,Monitor audio et many more yet I will not sell these

None . I am vey happy with these , my Simaudio amps and Linn preamp sings like never before

Suenan muy bien, las tengo con un amplificador de bulbos de Margules y el sonido es muy dulce. Estaban un poco sucias y una recibió un golpe en la madera de cerezo, la lije y le puse restaurador de aceites y quedaron como nuevas, incluso mejoró el color.

La tapa negra De tela que va encima está ya fea y no la quiero Quitar por Proteccion, no se si exista algo que permita que se luzca el interior. Por otro Lado los conectores no aceptan contactos Banana que son más prácticos

Owned my A2,s now for ,well seems like forever had various equipment latest addition being valve amplification and theve never disapointed ,of course i always wanted the A3s who knows maybe one day,never crossed my mind to upgrade them being my first big spend on Hifi ,the only thing thats starting to bug me alittle is the fact their only 4 ohms , im probably reading to much Hifi jargon since aquiring my tube amp appently you dont get the best out of tube amplifiers with 4 ohm speakers , ive been toying with the idea to install 2 more 7in woofers does anyone know if celestion are still trading , or maybe Mr Kevin has got some tuked away someware any advice leave us a comment,,, boooom

Hello ??
I now own all the Celestion A series.
The A2's have eluded me for years.
When I was a wee lad I worked for Celestion and I dreamed regularly
About owning the Celestion A3's, my low wages presented issues regarding ever really buying a pair lol.
Anyway about these A2's, I must say I'm impressed.
I bought them very cheap off everyone's favourite auction site.
They had damaged tweeters so I bought them at a reasonable price, £100!
Having loads of spares for Celestion speakers I replaced the damaged tweeters with new old stock A series drivers I had kicking about.
Once repaired and a quick polish to bring back the beautiful cheery shine I fired them up.
My A3's live on the stereo so I decided to try the A2's on the home cinema and plut the A compacts on the rear.
I have the A4 rears but I must say the compacts are way better for home cinema.
First test was Star Trek bluray (in to darkness)
I was so impressed with the bass response of the A2's I turned the sub off! Lol.
Also I became so engulfed with the experience I watched the movie in its entirety.
Next I tried Jeff Wayne's war of the worlds in DVD,
Selected DTS sound track, again watch from beginning to end.
Over all I'm well impressed, the A2's really deliver a beautiful sound.
Softer bass than the A3's but slightly less controlled.
Richer sound than the A1's and also bring thiner than the A3's better stereo imagery.

Conclusion
A3's, for a massive room and powerful sound reproduction
A2's,pound for pound pretty close to the A3's but slightly less controlled bass and a tad less mid.
A1's, awesome speakers, need good stands and room to sing.
A compacts, I love these speakers,if you limited for space nothing else comes close for overall sound. My proac tablets were more detailed but lack the bass response.
I guess the closest I've heard are B&W cm1's, great but not as sweet as the compacts.
All in all my dreams as a young man have come true (speaker wise)
Take care
All the best

Laid-backs, controlled bass, finished, laser interferometry, faraday rings... that means outclass technology.

A little expensive if it were bought brand-new ;)

After trying them for 5 months, I just can say that's the best bang for the buck made in my whole life! I use them with 2 bridged NAD 214 power amps and a pre NAD 1000 from MONITOR SERIES (together with a CD NAD C540) and the resulting sound is just superb. Controlled bass, laid-backs and dynamics are exceptionals. Considering they cost more than €2.500 and I got them by just paying €379... I think there's nothing more to say ;) Now I'm waiting for the seller to sell the A3's he still owns.

I have had these speakers for almost 2 years now and they are still the best sounding that I have had in my home to date. And I have had a lot of speakers on trial at home in my system. I have them on a solid rosewood stand that perfectly matches the speaker. I had the local cabinet maker contruct them and fill them with sand and then seal them. I have the speakers with very short spikes sitting on the matching stands with good spikes as well. This makes it look like a large speaker. With the stands it brings the tweeter just above the listeners ears. With a Meridian 508-24 cd player and a much modified Copland CSA 14 and Cardas Golden Reference Interconnects and Speaker Cables and these Celestions I would be hard pressed finding better sound.

Top to bottom coherence, detail, power, subtelty. Superb build quality.

Bright tweeter in some systems or types of music?

This is my first entry into the high end speaker arena, but I did some serioius listening to the above referenced names. In terms of both musicality and value for money the Celestions won my vote. Their ability to reproduce piano and vocals is as good as if not better than anything I've heard. And the bass response is truely in a class of its own at this price: fast, tight, deep, and powerful yet always musical and never exaggerated.

The build quality is truely second to none, and still quite a bargain even at their full retail price of $2,300. I believe these speakers are very competitive in this price class, which is admittedly a highly competitive arena to begin with. I feel there sound is very honest, accurate and natural. They will play very loud and do not require a great deal of power. However I think they require (in order to realize their full potential) a high quality, stable amplifier that is capable of delivering more current than your typical receiver. Electronics that already err on the bright side of reality may not be the best match either.

As always, audition with your own ears, music, system components and room, if possible! For me they represent a best in class product that I anticipate enjoying for many years to come.
