    Thanks, Tom. Is there any concern over the tweeter impedance, or are they all the same in that regard too? I've made sure to get all the same 414-Z woofers.

    I see quite a few different variations of the 414 woofer for sale- is it essential to stick with the 414z that seems to be what was original, or is any 16 ohm version okay?

    I discovered these speakers built into the wall in our house, with the cabinets extending into an attic space. The cabinets are a nice mahogany or walnut or similar finish. There are no identifying...
