Celestion SL6S Excellent Condition
« on: 26 Oct 2007, 05:17 pm »
One of the great monitors of the 80's. Excellent execution of design. The SL6S was the forerunner of the SL600 series. The SL600 was ubr-expensive even inthe 80's. The SL6S offers the majority of the prformance of its big brother for a fraction of the price.

Cabinets are heavily braced, and have walnut finish. Front plate is a two section composite, so the tweter is isolated from the woofer. Celestion was the one of the pioneers in using laser measurements and CAD design techniques. The majority of modern monitors are not as well designed as these.

Condition is excellent. No flaws on the drivers. Cabinets are great, no dings or dents. A light scratch on one side that cant be photographed. I imagine it will fade away with a good oiling.

If you are on a budget, than this speaker is an excellent choice. It will give you real world high end performance for the price of a consumer brand speaker from Best Buy.


Originally sold for $950. Selling for $300. Do not have original boxes, but will double box.

Hi,
Still available? Is that they have copper tweeter or aluminum type?

These are great speakers and a good deal at $300.00

They brought me many hours of enjoyment and completely filled my large 26' x 20' room. Would make great computer speakers as well. Someone get these!  :drool:  They do need some power, 50-70 watts should do for most people.
