Latest project completed

Finally finished a project I have been dragging my feet on for awhile.  The surround on my Vandersteen’s midrange detached.  I have tried  my hand at re-foaming speakers before and didn’t have very good luck with it.  I decided to remove the drivers are send them back to Vandersteen.

Above is me testing them once I got the drivers back and re-installed.  Richard Vandersteen really is brilliant with this design.  Everything is well build but he saves so much money on the finishing just covering it with a sock and some fancy top and bottom plates!

Above you see them under test after I installed the new socks and top and bottom plates.  They sound as good as ever even without proper placement.  Still working on getting this system back up and running.  I have some really nice vintage amplification going on them soon and my highly modified Rega P3 as the main source.
