I got a pair of 2214s a few weeks back - bad surrounds, of course. I redid the surrounds with a Rick Cobb kit, and was wondering what to do with them when someone on AK offered a pair of furniture cabinets up for a very reasonable fee. Apparently they were satellite cabinets for use with a console system or something similar, but had no drivers in them at this point.
The cabinets are neat because the honey finish is a perfect match for the chairs and hassock in that room that I got from my grandmother's collection many years ago.
Anyway, he delivered them to a party I attended over the weekend, and I brought them home and popped the 2214s in them yesterday.
Ran them full-range, just for a test, and they sounded surprisingly good - I could hear shortcomings, of course, but I want to add at least a tweeter and crossovers to them. I'm thinking it may be better to go 2 way instead of 3 ways with the 2214s?
Thinking of something like a 4425 ... but without the Dollyhorns.
At some point I'll probably try them with the smith horns, slot tweeters and 3133 crossovers I already have -
but was looking for some ideas or feedback, etc ...
