EPI 100s
I have a pair of EPI 100 speakers that need re-foaming, maybe some other work. I'm aware that there's a "specialist" in NH, I think, who works with EPIs. I don't want to send them up there, so how critical is it they be repaired with perhaps "dedicated" EPI materials, so-to-speak? Also, any... -

D Mystery Vintage Speaker “SR 4 Way”
I picked these up at a thrift store today for $10. I was told they work and was offered a refund if not. Took them home set them up and they do work, indeed. I need to do some further investigation to ensure the tweeters are fully functional. They need finish work, and likely need a recap. I... -

Looking for an upgrade, and some recommendations.
At the beginning of my HiFi journey about 2 years ago I settled for some no name Hitachis. They were alright, but I knew I needed something more so about a year ago I upgraded to some Polk xT15s, know they're not exactly premium but they were 50 bucks on an Amazon sale. Theyre pretty serviceable... -

Should I sell my old KEF speakers?
Hi I've recently sold my Pioneer a-656 amp and have been listening to stereo music for many years. I sold it because I bought a new TV and things escalated.

Vintage Pioneer Recap Assist
Hi, I recently picked up a pair of vintage Pioneer S-X707V speakers. Looks like they were made in Japan in the 80s (specs and a photo are attached). So I guess a recap is overdue? A photo of the crossover has been attached. First, can you tell, by looking at it, if the previous owner... -
Sony SS-1800 - Insulation blocking port?
Hi folks, I'm restoring some '70s Sony SS-1800 speakers that someone had put out at the curb. I don't expect them to be hi-fi quality (it's more of a fun project), but I'm actually pretty surprised by the build quality. As they were, they were really lacking bass. The surrounds of the big 30cm... -

How Is That Possible?
While walking the dog this morning my thoughts turned to speaker physics (yes, I know I'm not normal that way.) So my question is: How can a speaker reproduce a cord?

Monitor Audio Silver 500 7g vs ADS L-810 (and other vintage)
I am in the market for speakers and recently demoed ADS L-810s. Wonderful sound, powered by the Rega Elicit-R. This, of course, led me down the vintage rabbit hole, an area of which I was ignorant, only to discover my father’s generation of high fidelity was actually pretty good. That said, I... -
