Comparing: The Scumback S75-PVC And Celestion AlNiCo Gold

A while ago, I reviewed the Scumback S75-PVC - and it's a speaker I was really loving then, and am still very much enjoying a few months on. It did divide opinion in the comments section slightly, but for the old-school British alnico jangle, I think it's definitely right up there with its competitors.

But one thing that's been asked on many a forum over the years - how does the S75-PVC compare to the Celestion Gold? They're both trying to do a similar-type thing - so are they the same? Their unit price is fairly similar, so depending on your geographical location, can you treat them as equivalents, of sorts? Let's find out!

What do you think? Which did you prefer? And why? Comment below!
