Are those the original drivers?

The woofers look like Infinitys to me. My little bitty Monitor R-Ls have the same sheen on the cones.

woofer and ribbons appear original but dome tweeter has been replace. 400$ theres no way those tweets if you can find would cost you 300$

The mid's are not origonal. The extra block of wood they are mounted on is a dead give away. A little pricey for having the wrong mid's. I love my Q3's.

Merry Christmas All,

he's going on about two years of trying to sell those on the Milwaukee CL.

If he'd fess up to the replaced mids and adjust the price, he'd be able to sell those. As it is, they'll probably sit there a long time, unsold.

It's really hard to tell from that picture if that's the Watkins DVC woofer or some sort of Poly woofer. The 1.5" dome mids have definitely been replaced with what looks like a "bullet" tweeter that Radio Shack and others sold years ago. Ugh. I bet the midrange sucks on those for sure! The mid bass coupler drivers look right along with the tweeters and hopefully they work. I'd offer a really low amount and see where they haggle from there. I gave 1/399th of what they are asking for mine and wouldn't even think of selling them.

To make it even harder I think they used different looking Watkins woofers in some of them. I have a pair of Quantum 3s and the woofers are the original Watkins dual voice coil type but they they are clear poly cones. Not the black cones like you see on most of them.

I have 3 sets of Q2's,1 set of Q3's and a set of Q5's. The midranges are not original and i think the woofers while they may be infinities,I do not believe they are original, they look too shiny. Watkins appear flat gray or poly.

Here's another one in Portland

The mids aren't that hard to find or repair, are they? Also, he had rubber surrounds put on instead of foam. I guess that's a bit more acceptable.

That guy from West Bend has been trying to un-load those for quite sometime now. His prices seem a bit high and he ALWAYS has items on CL. I have not dealt with him personally but know people who have. I have been told he is a man of very few words.
