    Time to purchase an ultrasonic cleaner

    That $200 was well worth it. Great results. Now all I need is "scratch begone."

    Valencia with 511B horns?

Stuffed with Alpaca fur from an old friends ranch. I started out xover at 800, then 900, then 1100, now 1200. it just gets better...

    I talked to them Thursday. Diaphragm 34647 is out of stock. They moved the warehouse to Norco, Ca. About 30 minutes from my house. They were off loading 13 pallets of speakers. They hope to ship me a 416-8B today. I have one from 2013 that failed. They said repairs/autopsy would be 60-90 days...
