I just got my second pair and yep bad tweeters.
Cabs look like a bear to get into.

Always wanted to hear a pair of 6's myself. Definitely look like my kind of speakers. Some of these old speakers can still blow me away. These Tannoy Ardens I just picked up being one example, but I've had at least 5 "old" pairs of speakers that just completely wowed me. Enjoy your 6's! I like your room too, good stuff!
A quality two-way tends to be a very easy design to get right. I have the Marantz Imperial 6's, and yes, while I can hear the limitations of that little tweeter, overall, I just find myself enjoying the sound. Still hunting for some KLH 6's, just not very hard. I got too much stuff.
Congrats and enjoy!
The Marantz Imperial 6 and the KLH are very similar in the highs but different in the bass. The KLHs are not as responsive at lower volumes as the Imperials but the KLHs have a bit tighter bass. They are different but I love both.
When I see people that only have one set of speakers asking why people have more than one set I always think it would be so boring to only have one set.
I just recapped my pair of Model Six speakers. I am waiting for the arrival of the doping compound from RoyC so I can experience them fully.
Even without the woofers doped (and they need it), they are my new favorite speaker. I have been A/Bing them with my OLA and Dynaco A25 speakers. The KLH's win.

Scott LK-72 & 1963 Six's here. A sublime combination.
And at low volumes, still plenty of bass.
