    KLH 17 versus University LTV Medallion

    I have the opportunity to pick up locally a pair of KLH 17 or University LTV Medallion for the same price ($200), both in mint condition. The KLH was even recapped but I’m not sure if the University was recently serviced. The seller got them from a tech who said they didn’t need it and they do...

    Speaker ID?

    I purchased these Electro-Voice Aristocrat speakers but have not picked them up yet. I don't recognize the drivers that are enclosed, and the person who sold them could not see the back of the drivers for further ID.

    Old speakers with high quality AVR

    I have asked about using my Sansui sp200's on a newer amp such as my Harman/Kardon 1600, and I received responses saying the newer the speaker the better. I currently LOVE the way my speakers sound and yet they are 55 years old. Why are newer speakers known as superior?

    Old stereo speakers repair ?

    there were some knicks in these and I wondered if rubber based super glue would work.? Probably not something you should put a lot of money into . For basement system or surrounds probably! Put pictures of front of the speakers the drivers and stuff are in really good condition.

    I have a set of early A/D/S L710s. Cloth grills, square corners, no fuses on backs, screw terminals. They have foam surrounds and look to have been refoamed pretty recently.
