I hate when they do this to speakers

Nothing like taking a classic speaker,and beating the $#*T out of it.Just plain criminal.Not too hard to restore,though.

I see that once in a while. The last time that I saw something like that was with Cerwin Vega AT-12, the owner replaced the original woofers with car woofers. It looked horrible

Where did the midrange go???

 

[Andyman]

Actually, that's quite reversible with a little effort.

Now that guy who spray painted those ADS 880s on eBay white, driver cones and domes included, well that's just something special......

 

[Wornears]

Gack! Yes, that is special.

 

[frankxbe]

made them into white van speakers

That guy should be shot at point blank range!!!

 

[qsaudio]

lol, thats terrible, geeeez, white ones

must be special audio titanium paint for domes, wood, all surfaces, YUCK

 

[Hayes]

White is so Eighties.

 

[Andyman]

Yep, and it's a shame because those were some very fine speakers...

Another view of the carnage....

 

[cubby01]

Wow, with only the investment of a $2.50 can of paint they managed to increase the value by -$200

 

[elmostro]

wow, very original they actually look good

 

[HypnoToad]

The worst one I saw was the guy who fitted bullet tweeters to the Yamaha NS1000's. He thought it was an improvement.

 

[EddyFranner]

Reminds me of a pair of speakers at a auto body shop after a year or two of powdery residue build up.

 

[gladiator335]

It doesn't really matter... Still "doesn't affect the sound and they hit hard"
Pity...

 

[313guy]

It does accentuate the cracks in the surrounds nicely.

 

[Andyman]

Yep, but those should be rubber, so that's pretty interesting too.....

 

[qsaudio]

why didn't they just paint the woofer already, like a bad dream.
