Do not even try your tube amps with SL600!
The SL600 is very low sensitivity and if you drive it with more or less powerful SET amp then you will ruin SL600. I have destroyed 6 (six) of SL600. A 5 minutes of driving SL600 with 8W-10W SET as r...

Hi Romy,My experiences with the SL6 and SL600 date back 15-20 years. My problems with the sound I could get from them related to their inability to recreate music with scale or drama. I found the subjective lack of high frequency output made every re...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I suppose the question then is, does the SL600 then sound more correct than your normal system with 'better' amplifiers? Don't you still find the sound of the woofer to be too smeared, slow and dark? [/quote]
Actually the...

Hi all,This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers.But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear.Does anyone know where I could source them from?Any...

[quote user="zanon"]I'm also not surprised that your new buyer thought your SL600s were too bright. Druids have very rolled off HF.[/quote] Yes, the comment that SL600 is too bright is not very accurate. The SL600, at least with copper tweeter are ma...

It is a dome tweeter, so I can see how proximity to the floor might have some impact in that at least you have HF hitting the floor. How ti regulates brightness is mysterious to me as well.My personal hamster speakers (for NPR vocals) simple mono Tiv...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

A couple days ago a local friend of mine asked to let him to listen my Celestion SL600 monitors:

I brought to him the monitors with the stand (but with no LF sec...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

Thanks for the advice Romy.But actually, I may not need new tweeters after all (for the time being, at least, until the dreaded 'Autumn Sound' arrives).You see, when I connected them up, I didn't really think too carefully about the speaker...

Hi Romy,Up to what frequency do you suppose the aerolam cabinet has an advantage over a more conventional, braced, birch ply enclosure? Is it possible to tell?As I recall, the main difference between the SL6 and SL600 was in the quality of what low b...

From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.If you can get any noise out of the SL600's I'll be interested to hear what y...

I never seen the polyethylene drivers but I would not say that it would be a joke, I would rather say that I have no idea what to expect. The SL600 MF driver is a polyethylene-like driver and it does have some interesting qualities, Sure it you drive...

[quote user="Ronnie"] Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because Denon D-M31 (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society).

Actually I care less about the design philosophy in this case but rather about the result. Obviously the 150W-200W (200W?) of Zarathustra’s pure class A would be completely useless for my horns. I would like to have something to drive with that amp a...

"with only disadvantage in sensitively department" That's quite a big disadvantage from where I look at it.The way you describe the speakers with all of your other amplifiers seems to match how I recall them sounding. I cannot imagine how...

I'm glad you had the opportunity to look into the G10. I find it to be a very intellectually satisfying material, which (to this sick mind) is important. G10 is a material that reminds a person of cleanliness, stability, perfect cons...
