Celestion 5 speakers - 90 watts

Pristine. Superb classic British sound (clarity and warmth). Made in England. 90 watts. 6" woofer 1" tweeter Model 5’s closed cabinet has 50 percent more volume than that of the celestion 3, but it is still a compact 13-3/4 inches high, 8-1/8 inches wide, and 9-7/8 inches deep, and it weighs a mere 10-1/2 pounds. Removing the black cloth grille reveals a 6-inch woofer with a felted-fiber cone and a 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter. The principal differences between the Model 5 and the Model 3, aside from their cabinet dimensions, are in the size of the low-frequency driver (the Model 3’s is 5 inches) and in the crossover network. The crossover frequency has been reduced in the Model 5 from 5,000 to 4,000 Hz, and another reactive element has been added to provide 12-dB-per-octave slopes for both drivers. The front edges of the Celestion 5’s cabinet are also slightly beveled to reduce diffraction. Comparing the manufacturer’s specifications for the two speakers, it appears that the Model 5’s larger cabinet and woofer extend its low-frequency response by 5 Hz: The Celestion 3’s response is given as — 3 dB at 75 Hz, whereas the Celestion 5’s is down 3 dB at 70 Hz. They apparently use the same tweeter, and the high-frequency -3-dB limit is 20,000 Hz for both models. Other advantages of the Celestion 5 are said to be its higher sensitivity (88 vs. 86 dB) and increased power-handling ability (90 vs. 60 watts).
