Celestion County speakers

[Martyn Miles]

What do Forum members know about these? I have just acquired a pair to refurbish at a low price. The drivers in in fine condition, the cabinets need some polishing and the grilles new cloth. The tweeter is the well-known Celestion HF1300, so I expect a sweet treble. They are sure to sound very '70s' , but none the worse for that.

I had a pair once. A little bass-heavy IIRC.

Thanks. There doesn't appear to be a great deal of cabinet damping, so perhaps some treatment to the panels with bitumen type Material. Also, I have some foam left from an old pair of B & W speakers which could be put into the cabinets' interior.
