My speakers are back from being re-coned. I want to thank all of the people on the forum that have helped and guided me to the correct decisions.

I finally got the speakers setup and ready to run again and put on Thelma Houston “I’ve got the Music in Me” from the master disc (the same record I listened to when I bought the speakers) and it brought tears to my eyes just overwhelmed I had forgot what music really sounded like. The second record was Sessions 1973 from JBL.


Thank you so very much for all your help.:):D:):D:):)

It's fantastic when a good set of speakers allow you to "Feel the music"! I'm presently working on a large pair of 4343's but the person I'm dealing with is playing hard ball. I gotta bat that is going to help my negotiations! :D
P.S. do you have completed pics?
