Soprano signature??? What are these?

Thanks for the heads-up.

Actually, I intend to keep the grilles on.

I spent time getting rid of the caulk just as a matter of process. Could have removed just one of the drivers, replaced the caps and put it back.

As I knew nothing about these, taking them completely apart, was part of the journey. Thought the internal structure was going to reveal something interesting, but alas, "just a box".

Went with the matt black as it covers well.

Will be played with them on, and due to their shape, I think they look good with their grilles on.

Unlike these Leak Sandwiches which are too good to cover up!

(everything gets covered with sheets when I'm away for more than a day)

Cheers!

So then J Kent, they're finished, and sounding amazing.

Recapping has worked wonders.

They're quite small for your typical floor-standers, so to get them a bit higher, I asked a local carpenter to make some stands. Continuing the trapezium form, they now sit 30 cm higher: perfect height for when I'm sitting in the big chair. I've invested in some granite blocks with spikes which do make a slight difference.

They're keepers as I suspect to better would be above my budget.

 

For speakers that were initially free, I suspect an end price of €100/$100. Not bad considering their original retail price of €3000 back in 1983!

 

cheers.
