Hi – I have a couple of Celestion V30s rebranded as Hellatone 60s by Avatar. I’m curious to know if these are UK-made or China made.

 

They are stamped 444 on the cones. The stickers on the magnets do not say “Made in China”. The Original Celestion sticker underneath the Hellatone 60 sticker does say “Ipswitch, Suffolk, England”.

 

Are these genuine UK-made speakers?

 

Thanks!

I received an email from Dr. Decibel at Celestion, and he said: "This is a China-build Vintage 30, date code July 2006."

 

I've also learned that the "50" on the magnet sticker also indicates it is a China build.

 

At any rate, they sound fantastic to me!
