Our users rate Reverb
Matched pair of vintage Rola Celestion G12M-25 "blackback" speakers, made in Ipswich, England.
Both speakers carry the date stamp GJ2X — 2nd July 1976, with the X inspection letter used during the Sept '74 to Sept '76 window. A genuine same-day matched pair, which is uncommon.

- 8 ohm
- 25 watt, 75Hz
- Cones: original Kurt Mueller, stamped 1777
- Frame stamp confirms T1220
Condition
Both tested and fully working. No voice coil rub, no buzz, no rattle. Cones are original with no repairs, no reconing, no tears or holes. Spiders clean and tight, cone travel free throughout.
These are the later-70s equivalent of the Greenback. The Kurt Mueller cones give a slightly more aggressive, cutting midrange than the earlier Pulsonic cones, and they pair naturally with master-volume Marshalls of the period. Ideal for a 2x12, a Bluesbreaker-style combo, or as a matched half of a 4x12 rebuild.
Please review all photos carefully — they form part of this description. Photos include the cone stamps, frame stamps, date codes, labels and both magnet covers. I'm happy to supply additional photos or a working video on request before you buy.
These are 50-year-old speakers. They're fragile in transit and will be packed properly before shipping and fully insured. Any questions, just ask.
