    Goodmans Triaxiom + ARU 172, worth fixing?

    Recently picked up this pair of Goodmans. They sound awful, extremely veiled with very poor frequency response, and zero stereo image to speak of.. I'm fairly sure the crossover caps are finished, as the drivers look to be pristine. Are they worth fixing or should I part them out and cut my...

    Wharfedale Dovedale 3

    Was so lucky to find this pair of Dovedale which are in showroom condition and sound amazing. After getting them, from a fella in his nineties who said he never moved them and hasn’t listened to to them in over thirty years, I went into cleaning them up cosmeticly. When ready, I slowly powered...

    Who made these cabinet kits?

    These are the most beautiful and well made cabinets I have ever owned. The stripes are solid woods glued and planed, sides are mdf with a blonde flame veneer. Came with Tang Band 4 inch bamboo drivers. If these were scratch built they must have belonged to Norm Abrams......

    Barrier to entry on custom cabinets?

    Gave away my old broken vintage piece to an old pal. Been using my H/K 3390, love it to death but there's a small hole in my heart that only a slab of finely sanded and oil wood can cover. It's probably as simple as gluing 4 pieces together, but then I have to look into vent holes, screw holes...

    Need info on some white van speakers

    I know it's probably a bad idea but I want to turn a pair of Acoustic Lab Pro Series 710s into one big speaker cabinet for my bass guitar. My idea was to wire the two systems in parallel and make a big box to boost the bass, but my main issue now is that I don't know the rated wattage of the...

    McIntosh L3M console cabinet

    I was hoping someone would be able to help identify if this is indeed an L3m cabinet. It had an mc2105 and mx112 in it and I didn’t even think that the cabinet could be one sold by McIntosh. Did these cabinets have any markings or branding anywhere to confirm what they were? thanks, Blake
