Skytronics drivers from the UK are amazing....pop them in any box with some packing and wow!Unfortunately due to price point very few are coming in any more.Our new SA!...SAD...as they are excellent.

You may have guessed I am not a rich man and have to strive on a limited budget...and i do.Sound is life! 
Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
Another point is that I have the pleasure of listening to near every make and model, the older retro amps just have that pure sweet tone, unlike most of the digital systems on the market...most of my customers who had upgraded to digital ran their... 
Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
True to form the older boxes packed with underfelt just seem to have that warm sound, I put a pair of qsc/qst main drivers into my ar8's and they sound better than day 0 and handle the output from my HK 5000 with no problems.Also have a pair of sw...
