    Hi, I just cracked open a set of Vintage Teac LS-400 speakers. Each cabinet has 2 tweeters, 2 mids and 1 woofer. This is a hobby project and one that I am not worried about the value of the speakers, or what they will be worth in the end, I simply want to make them sound the best they can...

    Ohm Acoustics model H woofer DIY project

    Hello. I recently picked up a pair of Ohm model H speakers in VG physical condition. It was clear that the woofer and passive radiators weren't original, but what I found when I opened them up surprised me. Refoam jobs and cabinet restorations are about all I get involved with, so this DIY...

    Any information about Cerwin Vega L-1815-8 woofers?

    Hi...I was offered a pair of Cerwin Vega L-1815-8 woofers. They are 18", and look perfect (foam/rubber surrounds are solid and they sound good). I am not sure what they should cost though and the price I was quoted seemed kind of high, but I was told they are rare and costly. Does anyone have...

    Glue for Polk LS70?

    Hi all - I scored a minty pair of Polk LS70's today. I'd never heard any of the LS before (huge SDA fan) but I'm pretty impressed thus far. I agree with what I've read on here about them - pretty directional and boomy bass, but we'll work on that later. For the moment, the issue I've...
