Omg, I love AK. First we kill threads bitching about thrift stores overpricing stuff and now we are going to complain about under pricing..lol
The one thing I don’t agree on is any donation and subsequent purchase being a waste. Regardless of all the other details a donating/buying transaction has two important benefits: An intem isn’t destroyed and a landfill is slightly less full.
Great score btw! I’d like to hear some VA speakers on of these days.

The bad woofer. Nice little cast baskets, decent excursion. These are very nice speakers, but the sum of the parts to me isn't worth the price of these when new.

I catch myself judging that way also but then I wonder if I'm just not used to the more modern looking drivers. Most of them have an inexpensive look to me but I guess some of the best just have that look I associate cheap speakers with. But yeah, they put a lot of external blingbling visuals to just about everything these days to make a sale, ...old news there I know.

Yeah, that's it, multi tasking! Master? Ha!Is that the hand of The Master? And why are you working on AR tweeters, while also working on the VA's? Multitasking?
Someone asked me to make tweeter foam in one of the threads, and I finished them a couple nights ago, and be damned, I can't remember which thread it was! I've been going through the more recent AR threads to track the gent down to let him know they are done and to send me his address info! A senior moment brain fart!

A little more info, maybe. http://techtalk.parts-express.com/forum/tech-talk-forum/57321-vienna-acoustics-oem-drivers
Thanks for the link. Read through it, and as I suspected, way over priced drivers from Vienna.
Oh well, I bought it and look forward to hearing them.
Cheers, Glenn
While I'm waiting for the woofer, I ordered spikes, M6 thread for these.
My plan is to use them in my living room-TV setup replacing the AR4x's. I'm thinking I'll need to make some stands wider than the cabs to help prevent accidental bumping into and falling over as these cabs are pretty narrow. Correct stands, I saw one listed on fleabay and expensive, is why I'm thinking some DIY's. Nothing fancy, just wider for stability. Anybody make some for narrow tower cabs, and if so, please post some pics.

For stands/ feet that are similar to the VA feet that would have come with those, check these out:

Awesome link! Cheers!
Hey all!
I finally received the replacement woofer from Bluebird-V.A.'s U.S. distributor last night.
I installed it and got to hear these in a complete state. They are very good sounding speakers. The bass is surprisingly deep for such small mid-woofer drivers. I like these a lot!
I also made some stands from oak that I cut, stained, and added spikes. I'll post a video in the video thread shortly, but here's a few pics.
So my total cost for these ended up being about 385.00. Still a bargain for originally costing over 2K!
So for now, I'll get to know them for a bit in the cave before moving them up to the living room to replace the AR4x's.
