Great timing on this thread! ;)
Today I drove down to Everett in Dixie to pick up a second pair of Speaker
Lab 3s and the guy wanted to know if I was interested in his Speaker Lab
Corner Horns!! I declined but I did pick up a pair of Vifa tweeters while I
was there.
The tweeters in the 3s had been replaced with Radio Shack crap - the woofers
had been replaced with Pyramids too...
But I now have a full set of good drivers, 4 nice walnut cabinets and a
spare pair of crossovers, just in case.
These are the 4th pair of Speaker Labs that I've brought home in Dixie - the
first pair came home in my '84! ;)
Seeya, Jake
