Widely slated as being a bit sh*t, the Celestion Seventy-80 gets a bad rap from having had to cater for virtually every low to mid-range amp, combo & cab out there.
Taking that into consideration, the Seventy-80 doesn’t come out too badly, it’s frequency output is pretty close to the higher-end Celestion Lead 80 & in a closed back 4×12 cab it does justice to the metal end of the music spectrum.
There are far worse speakers out there (looking at you Rocket 50’s), but the Seventy-80 wouldn’t be anywhere near my choice of speaker for a combo (and has now been replaced by the far, far better V-Type and A-Type speakers).
Celestion, however say…
“The Seventy 80 is detailed and crisply defined with a tightly controlled low-end and punchy aggressive upper mid-range. The top-end response is also subtly increased.
This 12 inch guitar speaker meets the expanded frequency range often requested by the new generation of amp manufacturers and is capable of reproducing a wide range of sounds and styles whilst adding the undeniable Celestion character to any amp.”
