these are highly underrated

a very 80s, hard rock sounding speaker... the best of celestion's small magnet speakers, kinda greenbacky but brighter. Early breakup that's very hair-metal. Very low efficiency so you cna get a 30 to 50 watt amp to go into power amp saturation at somewhat reasonable volume. More natural sounding then an attenuator on more efficient speakers.
