15 ohm speakers?

[Animal]

Could these vintage 15 ohm greenbacks be used with standard 16 ohm output speaker jacks on a amplifier?

It's got me interested.

All 16 ohm Celestions are actually 15 ohms...you'll be fine.

Cool. Thanks.

Also, do the old celestions sound more "musical" than the newer ones?

In all honesty- I don't think the "musical" quality you'd get out of the speakers is worth the price you're going to have to fork out for a "Pre-Rola" Celestion. Those are going to go for a lot of bank.
