peterh, sounds like it's time to recone your Celestion tonal treasures. If you don't have a local electronics shop which offers such services, your local instrument outlet will. Stereophile, in its' October 1992 Recommended Components article, found Celestion's SL700SE "improves over the SL600Si in the areas where that speaker excels(soundstaging, though the 600Si needed a $799 DLP600 digital-domain loudspeaker processor, which fit between a cd transport & dac; thus presenting a soundstage John Atkinson experienced only through Wilson WATTs, Avalon Eclipses, & Qual ESL-63s), & sets new standards for a box loudspeaker in transparency, neutrality, & upper-bass clarity". Reviewer Martin Colloms liked the 700's sense of pace & timing. There really is something magical about Celestion midrange, peterh, & you'd be hard-pressed to find any speaker as musically satisfying in the SL700SE's original $3299 retail price range, which also had stands included.
