| KEF 104/2 Ref: Needs new crossover and drivers Amen to kr4's comment. A great loudspeaker when working as it should, and a hard speaker to hurt if not abused. Unless all the drivers are damaged, I don't see how it could even be cost effective. What is the extent of the damage? | |

| Need info of EFI speakers. If they are octagons as well, probably one of the many Empire loudspeakers from the early 70's. | |
| "Stacked" Advents hookup They were(and in this case are)8 ohms, so parallel is fine.Do invert the top one(tweeter to tweeter) and given the amount of money invested, still do sound pretty good today, but frap is right, a little thick is the term. But for the money, not ba... | |

| Magnepan MG 2, worth it to rebuild? How to? I know you wrote about this before, but I still must ask, have you hooked them up and listened to them? 1st you need to determine if you have a problem. If they are rattling and such, and you don't have any experience with them, they probably are ... | |
