Hey everyone, what do we know about the voice coil in the Celestee? From what I've been able to gather here and there, it's 100% copper and of the shorter variety that Focal has been using, but do we have all that many sources to support this claim? Anyone got any additional info?

There were some early ones that had issues, yeah. After speaking with a rep, they let me know that they had gotten just about all of them back, so I think it's unlikely that you fall into that bucket, but it may still be worth looking into.

If open box, what’s the date of manufacture? I doubt it’s one of the way early ones, but I guess it’s possible.

Great to know, finally motivates me to get a pair of those pads.

Has anyone tried the Alpha Pads on the HE500? What about on the HE5se?

Buddy, tell me more about this store, I'd like in on some crazy cheap demo units... lol. Have you looked into a DAP? There are a few that can be had in the <$400 range that are pretty decent. Off the top of my head, there's a used A&K SR15, the iBasso DX160 (both the 2019 and 2020 versions...

You got it! Happy to help!
