Erik Mandaville Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hi! Thanks for responding. Actually, I wasn't worried about them. I just wanted some confirmation about parts quality, the possibility of foam rot (which has happened on other speakers I've built). I have experience building tube equipment from scratch, and understand that not lots happens to passive parts like caps and resistors unless things are pushing 50 years or more ('specially with electrolytic capactors.) The seller is offering them at $750/pair, in black, with a bit of scuffing of the paint, only. I really like that natural finish (just my taste), but in this case, it might be wise to forsake cosmetics for a reasonable cost, good performance, etc. I can even take all the drivers, crossover, and wiring out to refinish the cabinets. Anyway, thanks for your help -- all of the posts responding to my questions were beneficial. ...I just need to figure out if I can afford them!

WMcD Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I rationalize such decisions with the thought that I can probably sell them for way I paid. So it is a better deal than what you'd get on the stock exchange. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
