Go American or go without in my books. Isn't Celestion a British company? Yes it is, but it is quality and not communist. I knew that my statement would bring some kind of quip, but the limeys are very okay in my books and to my knowledge their trade practices are fair and we haven't shipped many o...

They are supposed to have country of origin labeled on each unit. Personally, I don't feel that a V30 is a good match for an SFTR. They have a big spike in the upper mids that is ear fatiguing and some SFTRs (I'm not saying all as my 69 SFTR isn't) harsh and brittle in the highs. My SFTR is a '72 w...

I am wanting a couple of these speakers for my SFTR and need to know how to tell the Chinese version from the real UK made speakers. Does anyone know? Also what year did Celestion start having these speakers made in China?

Thanks for your input.

Tony, thanks for you thoughts and input. I will check into the D-style amps kits.

Just what I was looking for. It's appreciated.

I am going to buy an amp kit, which one I don't know yet but most likely something along the line of the 5e5 or 5e3 circuit. I have read on this site and other amp sites where some guys have problems in the area of lead dress and this something I know nothing about. My EET expierence and training is...

Doug's amps are very well built and sound great, but I am not a fan of that paisley covering. Looks like hotel furniture up close.

exactly right on the paisley. Looks kinda hokey IMO.

That PRS amp sure sounded sweet didn't it?

Since one of the amps is called 'Original Sewell' you might be right. I'll have to look into Doug Sewell's amps as well.

That sounded great. That slide work sounded real sweet thru your amp.

I just saw a video clip of Derek Trucks talking about the PRS amp he is using now. It sure sounded sweet to me, but that was only thru my laptop speakers. Doe anyone out there have any experience with these amplifiers? What do you think about them and maybe compare them to some of the other custom a...
