Celestion Seventy 80's

[Dodger]

Can anyone with some first hand experience tell me what these sound like and where applications they are good for/not good for? If you've read my other thread you'll know that im planning on buying up old used marshall cabs and doing a bit of work on them including speaker replacement and id like to know what some of celestions less well known speakers are like?

I've got the seventy 80's in my Randall RG100SC, and they're pretty good speakers, then again I'm not sure I've heard very many other speakers, and if I have I wouldn't recognize them. but anyway from what I read about the 70-80's, they have scooped mids....

I'm very interested about these speakers too since I have 2 of them in my Randall. (which functions as a cab now)
I hear them as pretty bright speakers that still have some warmth to them. I think the Bass response could be better.

Traynor, uses them in their YCV series amps. I love the one in my Traynor YCV-40. I had another Traynor with a Vintage 30 in it, and I hated it's tone. I find the Seventy 80, to be a very balanced speaker.

Scooped mids? According to Celestion the 70-80's have have a huge amount of mids.
