    Omega Centurion XV

    Anyone have the full specs on these speakers? I can’t find any info on the interwebs. Also looking for some midrange drivers. Someone replaced the originals along the way with some cheapies. Got these for a buck. Figured they’re worth giving them a try.

    Speaker Wires vs. Internal Speaker Wires

    I can find plenty of information on getting better speaker wires added to a system to improve SQ, but not much discussion about the wires inside the speaker: connectors to crossover the crossover to each speaker. Based on some of the speakers I have looked inside of the wires are kinda wimpy...

    Dahlquist small cubes

    In the mid to late 70's Dahlquist made a small speaker with a metal case. I want to think maybe 8"h x 4"w x 5"d. These were also commonly used for car audio. Anyone remember them?

    Replacements for Mid-range Drivers MCS 8227?

    Pioneer CS99 - midrange?

    Have an old pair of Pioneer CS99s and I SO want to love them, as they easily fill my medium/large room with sound, but the mid range is so muffled & "flabby" for lack of a better word. I can feel the bass even if it's not very controlled or detailed. Highs are powerful. It's just not balanced...
