    L166 Horizon new owner

    I got a pair of fair condition L166 that are in great shape acoustically. I will be restoring them slowly over time. The grills have the usual dings and also as usual are resistant to any fix I know of. Anyone have experience or advice in repair/refurbishing/replacement of these?
