Does anyone have any experience of Celestion DL8 or DL6 speakers?
Puts hand up! Yeah, me. I've got a pair of Series 1 DL8's. They're OK, I use them on the end of a Rasp Pi/HiFiberry streamer in the Conservatory where they perform better than bass reflex speakers as DL8's are totally sealed closed box cabs.
Both mine were faulty when I was given/dumped them. Before laying out too much cash I'd check both tweeters work, one of mine didn't and it was a very trixy repair which involved removing the voice coil to repair a wire break. Also, both of the rubber surrounds had came unbonded on my pair resulting in woofy bass as the sealed cab design no longer was!
Oooooff from dah woof...
Mine were stored for years in a loft apparently, the humidity didn't do the alloy tweeter surrounds much good but the white fur cleaned off OK in the end.
There were dry joints on the appallingly built crossover too. I don't think they were ever very 'high-end' speakers but they're not bad if you can get them working as Celestion intended.

Does anyone have any experience of Celestion DL8 or DL6 speakers? There's a pair of the DL8s nearby for £65 (might be some haggling room) or a pair of DL6 on eBay for just over £80 with delivery. I've read that the DL6s are a higher end model, worth spending the extra? Are either worth getting for those prices?
