Celestion SL700

138.162.0.43

In 1987 I walked into a HiFi shop for the first time in 4 or 5 years and heard the Celestion SL700 set up with Threshold amplification an a Proceed CD player. I was absolutely amazed at what was by far the closest to live music I had ever heard from an audio system. I could not afford those Celestions ($3000), but I did eventually buy a set of Celestion 3 ($250), which provided a much clearer, focused sound with far better imaging than the Infinity Qe they replaced. Soon thereafter I upgraded my speakers to Celestion SL6Si ($950), which provided most of the characteristics I heard from those SL700 speakers. I lived quite happily with those Celestion SL6Si for 10 years before trading them in on a set of Thiel CS2, which was an incremental step up from the Celestion.
