dekay, exactly, who says they are great based on cost, or ideas, gotta hear them, AND you need someone to help you blindly compare them so you don’t have expectation bias of the nth degree.
IF they actually sound great, you might consider re-working the location of the connectors on the speakers to a new location (you could make a recessed skirt and put the connectors on the side or front), or make a new high quality whip from the crossover board to an external connector box to let you use shorter cables
One of the most surprising things is when you open up a renowned vintage speaker and see the small common wire the OEM used back then. These great speakers often made their mark as great using lightweight bell wire!
