I have no skin in the game and I don't care. I just find it hard to believe that people find it objectionable or unbelievable that different countries have different laws, standards or testing for electrical products.
Dude, no one here gives a fuck about that. You need to address that with Celestion. Or Fender. Multiple reps from both companies have said these are not 20w speakers, that's why the cab is rated 100 watts. That's the end of it as far as any rational person is concerned.
You don't think they would wonder how a cabinet with four 20 watt speakers could be rated for 100 watts ? Maybe ask some guys that might know what the deal is ? I mean if Greenbacks haven't been 20w since like 1967, it's clearly not a secret. It's also very unlikely they're run afoul of any laws. Lawyers would surely have been all over it by now, right ?
Yes just as history has shown.......
It is what anyone would expect. I am sure they regret putting it incorrectly on there, because they get a shitload of emails when the math doesn't add up.
The speakers are made in UK and subject to UK laws.
Again, who fucking cares ? Certainly no enterprising attorneys. And definitely no one here except you.
Wait till he ohms out a speaker! The entire speaker is fake news
I was always confused about this speaker. But I was never interested enough to look into it
You're the idiot who in my Bad Cat amp hypothetical said you'd believe the info on an incorrect spec sheet over the word of the person who designed and built the amp.Yes just as history has shown.......
Its best to follow informal statements, proof of nothing as you and others do without any actual proof or evidence of anything and take that for science/maths or a matter of fact. What could go wrong...... I mean it's just speaker wattages in this case, what's the worst that could happen in such instance or in life in general under such logic
But never mind me. I'm no "expert".
I mean essentially 2+2=4 no matter if you're in the UK or America or on the moon or anywhere on Earth..... Nothing changes that......
I'm not the one here favoring informal statements and hyperbole by you or others as fact. What's alarming to me is that you simply nod your head and say yes to it, eat the grey goop and accept it despite all reasonable logic saying otherwise...... Talk about being a bot/zombie..... Just nodding yes mindlessly to anything. Okay fine and kinda scary
Based on your logic one could say "okay dude told me in an email it's 25 watts but provided no actual evidence or documents to prove it so let me run a 25 watt amp through it"..... Based on an informal statement and again no real evidence or proof that these are actually 25 watts and everything says they are infact 20 watts and then you blow a speaker......
Why would Celestion honor the warranty when you used a lower rated speaker and higher wattage amp on purpose?!?!? Because it was read on a forum from you or others and some dude said another dude told him in an email and informal statement vs the official documents provided by Celestion......
Okay fine but at least be aware that is essentially your argument here..... And it's not a very good one if an argument at all and more magical thinking than anything
It just doesn't seem wise by any reasonable standards in America or the Civilized World and it doesn't seem wise when it comes to ones gear/rig and basic safety and just basic standards in general..... But you can go on and listen to the "experts".....
Me I'ma just follow common sense and go by official ratings in official documents but hey that's me......
Works for me *_*
Right well if you want to use a 25 watt amp into a 20 watt speaker and wonder why the speaker blows its not hard to understand why..... Again nvm that Celestion has zero obligation to cover said speaker under warranty either.
