james.132 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 anyone know of a reasonably priced amp that would work well with a pair of celestion SR1's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 just about any amp that can deliver the appropriate power (300W for mk1, 350 for Mk2 if I remember correctly) into that load (Sr1s came in both 4ohm and 8ohm vaiants). I use a Yamaha P4500 with no problems. But make sure that you have the Celestion controller. They're fantastic speakers, but sound rubbish without it.

dbuckley Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 But make sure that you have the Celestion controller. They're fantastic speakers, but sound rubbish without it.Not to mention the probability of melting voice coils on now irreplacable drivers.

SPTTRIAL Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Try the Yamaha XP range, couple of quid more expensive that the p range, but has a bit more protection in it. and of course yamaha reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimmy1963 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I run mine with a yamaha p5000s and they sound superb. (with sr controller) Celestion still do sell the drivers (mk2 only) Tho' they have had a major price hike in the last year. I bought two last year and they were £164 + vat+delivery for the pair. went back this year for another two and thet were £160 + vat+delivery each!!! Apologies for going off topic on a rant.
