Hi! I was told to that y'all were the ones to talk to about my find.
Long story short, someone sold me a pair of L65s for 200 dollars off craigslist. Told me there was some light water damage to the bottom of one of the cabinets and the woofers had been replaced.Well, I jumped at it, of course, but upon getting there I realized something horrible. The "water damage" was from years of being sprayed by a cat. The fabric of the damaged one was so rank, I ripped the cover off and threw it away before taking them inside. So what do I do? (Pretend the smell isn't an issue, I'm getting a little success with odor removers)
I'm thinking my options are: build a new base for the damaged one and accept the cosmetic damage, try to sand down the face of the damaged one and repaint it, or somehow replace the whole front.
What's the best course of action? Only one of them is damaged, the other is basically pristine, both have unscratched glass, gorgeous veneers, etc. Someone took really good care of these before the cat got to one of them.
Also, I know the woofers are super clumsily replaced. If anyone recognizes them (unlikely, I know) that'd be cool. they're in with machine screws, and I don't relish the idea of taking them out unless y'all think there will be a definite improvement from putting better ones in. The bass doesn't sound bad, just a little... hollow maybe? Muddy?
Thank you so much for any assistance.
