well...
for now, because i dont have anything else, i am going to run a pair of faux plastic 8 inch SOUNDESIGN boom box speakers connected with twist ties for speaker wire.
or maybe i will use the Electro Voice Model SEVEN's my dad gave me that he bought in 1966 with super-nice cane grills. Yeah, they are bookshelf speakers, but the problem is that my room is tiny and these should do the job. I will be looking for other replacements, as always, and may even entertain a "trade+cash" offer.
i keep looking over my shoulder,
josh
