Celestion - G12M 65 Creamback 8 Ohms

The story of Celestion officially begins in 1924 in the suburbs of London where the three French brothers created a small subcontracting company, Electrical Manufacturing and PLating Company (EMPC).
When, one day, a certain Eric Mackintosh asked for their help to develop a loudspeaker of his creation.
Which would become the first model marketed by the young company that Ralph, the fourth French brother who joined them, named Celestion.
At that time, radio was experiencing a tremendous boom which naturally benefited EMPC.
1932 then saw the invention of the moving coil, which led them to market the first two-way domestic speaker, the Celestion Reetone Dual.
Then, excessive miniaturization came with the popularization of televisions and the equipment of television studios.
Innovations that led Celestion to experience, after the war, a quasi-monopoly situation in England!
This did not prevent it from being bought in 1947 by Rola (an initially American company) which was itself sold to Truvox Limited a year later.
It was at the end of the 50s that Celestion took a close interest in guitar amp speakers, achieving a masterstroke with the famous Celestion Blue which was then found in the VOX AC30 and the Marshalls in particular.
A model subsequently declined for all types of instruments and even for sound systems.
The demand for powerful sound systems increased and the speakers had to follow.
Celestion created the G12 in the 60s, available with different sized coils.
A huge success if ever there was one.
