I picked up a Sansui 5050 and a pair of JBL LX44 for $39 out the door which I thought was a good price. I knew the surrounds would need to be refoamed as that is common place for speakers this old. Well, they are done and here are some pics:

I think they came out very well. They sound amazing. I know these aren;t top of the line but they are a vast improvement over what I currently have. Needless to say I am in audio bliss. Any opinions on these or possible EASY upgrades. Love the forum, great site.

The LX44/55 are very underrated and undervalued IMHO. I still have the receipt for my LX44's and they were $600/pair in 1990. You can get them all day long on ebay for $100/pair now - probably one of the better sound values out there.
