I'm not adding you till you prove it!!!You can add me as another AK member with a pair of SP-5000's. Got them today and I am listening to Steely Dan on them driving them with my B+K ST-2140 at 140wpc and they sound great.

I would just dust it with a brush, you should see one of mine has splatter spots all over one of the woofers. You have to understand that all the drivers in these speakers only came in these speakers. You never see the drivers come up for sale, the SP-5500 & SP-5500A 15" woofer will work also, but will never be original, 5500A are common for sale.In one of the pics you can see that something looks like it got spilled on the woofer. It works perfectly but is there anyway to clean it or should I just leave it alone?

All I say to the ones that like to bash is, have you ever owned these speakers and did you drive them with this gear? It's not like I don't have a choice in the speakers I pick.

Count me in as a SP-5000 set owner. Sounds wonderful through my G8700DB. I have not recapped mine. Not something I would feel comfortable taking on by myself. Any recommended shops near Santa Rosa CA?
I would like to get my hands on the SP-5500's some day....
Those are the JBL L250, and really a far better speaker than the 5500s with the right amp.Out of curiosity, what are the other trapezoidally shaped speakers in the picture? They look vaguely familiar but I can't place them. And how do they compare to the 5500's? Given the smaller drivers and lack of horns naturally I'd expect them not to be as "aggressive" as the Sansui's.
