Got several very nice Celestion Century Neo 12 inch guitar speakers. Quite
spendy.

They are all three 16 ohm and I need 8 ohms. Buy or swap.

Check out the specs

Parts Express is currently blowing out the 8 Ohm version at >$100 for
singles and discounted for multiples.

Given that is 8 Ohm, I would suspect they'd out the door the 16 Ohm
at the same price.

There is a big difference between the original Celestion Century (Made in UK) and
the Celestion Century Vintage (first run was Made in UK and then production move to China).
Anyways -- these are 2 completely different speakers.
The link you gave is for the Century Vintage and not the original Celestion Century.

The Celestion Century is close to what a Celestion Lead 80 would be like (sort of)
And the Celestion Century Vintage is more like what a Vintage 30 would be like (sort of).

The Century is 80 watt speaker and has 102db/watt efficiency.
The Century Vintage is 60 watt speaker and has... ummm.. around 98 db/1 watt efficiency.

And yes - both are neo speakers... and the original Century was $$$$$$$$$$$$
I think they went for around $279 (US) -- they are no longer made and were
discontinued although the Century Vintage is still in production.

I'm looking for two 16 ohm Celestion Century speakers. Do you still have some available?
