Celestion's Alnico Blue speaker is one of the most iconic guitar speakers ever made. In this video we play through it's bigger brothers, the Alnico Gold, Cream and latest addition the Alnico Ruby.

First we talk through our experience using all four speakers and then play through each speaker with a few different style. You can hear the early breakup from the blue and its bell like qualities, how the higher powered alnico cream brings some warmth to the sound. We talk through how the power rating effects whether you can use the speakers in 1x12 and 2x12 cabinets and the classic amps that these speakers (mainly the Blue in Vox and Marshall amps) would be used for.

We played these speakers in the Zilla Compact 1x12 with an open back cab.
