Hi, I've bought a pair of Celestion Ditton 22s, they weren't expensive so I wasn't expecting miracles. However I'm not sure if they are sounding as they should.
They are a 3 way sealed box, quite big and heavy with I think, 7", 5" and 1" drivers. I have tried them on two systems in two rooms and they seem to sound very forward and bright, (very detailed though) I even tried using very thin wire to connect them up with and they still have a fatiguing sound.
My current thoughts are that they are either like this because they are designed for valve amps (late 60s design I think) or that the crossovers or rubber surrounds have aged and are reducing the "warmth".
Is it worth trying to modify them or should I sell them on to someone who likes this sort of sound?
Here is a link i found to a photo of a pair
