Look if its your house you get to not only make the rules but interpret them and change them any time you like. Strangers might be welcome but nobody wants strangers calling the shots in their house. I think most people would agree with that.Audio... 
Minimum standards within the High end speaker industry
If you say so. 
Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
My recollection is the Ohm trade-in policy is that cabinets have to be in good enough condition for restoration so they can be refurbed and reused. Drivers do not matter.I traded in an old pair of Walsh 2s and a pair of C2s towards mine and that l...

Not sure who is around anymore with experience fixing those. You could try contacting Dale Harder. He may be able to provide insight. Ohm would provide very good sounding upgrades for the Fs but not repair for the original design which is differen... 
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
I’ve not seen or heard one yet but definitely a product of interest to me.Currently running Audio Research sp16 preamp in one system and a Bel Canto c5i integrated in another. Noise is not an issue in either case. 
Tekton & Zu: similarities?
