Celestion Ditton 44 Main / Stereo Speakers

Those were the days.....

I now have a large Celestion speaker collection and have lost count of visitors that just happen upon them when they are running and cannot believe how good their magnificent sound and visual presence are. Comments about these legends are many, but often predictable, mostly about their rich and open reproduction, fatigue free listening and superb looks. Questions usually then pile in about "who makes them", "when were they made" and "can you still get them?. Several of my visitors have since gone on the purchased their own, clearly moved by the experience, but then they are Celestions from the golden era of hi-fi, now long passed, those were the days. Ebay has kept the dream alive, but with renewed popularity comes fame and then the fortune. Prices have increased markedly in recent years, but the value for money is still there, when compared with modern lack luster designs, with their tinny high ends and gutless midrange. As for bass, how much do you want, most Celesetions can produce it by the shed load. Go on, surprise yourself and invest in some recent history, you will not be disappointedRead full review

Excellent

Fantastic speakers, Ditton 44s were highly recommended by several friends and they are a great buy. Amazing bass, warm midrange, not too bright but clear in the upper register. Definitely recommended!Read full review

Great Speakers

Fantastic, legendary speakers- with fabulous sound. Particularly good with classical, but work well with all styles.

Drivers all working- just minor cosmetic damage.

Grills had never been removed! Felt like opening a tomb when I took them off for closer inspection.Read full review
