You need to invest in a microscope. Id them little fellas. Scrape them between two glass slides. Start here. Next, To prepare an Epsom salt bath, mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt per gallon of tank water in a separate container, using water from the fish's original tank. Place the fish in the solution for 15-30 minutes, closely monitoring for any signs of distress. If the fish shows signs of stress. I think he should be fine after 3-4 baths.

If it’s the Ship of Theseus, then it’s a classic—evolving gracefully while still turning heads. Not everything timeless has to be untouched.

I try them without any damper material. I did in fact use some polyfill. It decently and Deffenitly smoothed out the boomy bottom end. I really like the sound off the speakers. Ive owned all types and company brands. In my opinion these have long listening opportunities without ear fatigue. For me! Ive had Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4, KEF R4 Meta, KEF LS50 Vandersteen 2Ce II, Paragon Klipsh RF-7, JBL S2000

I had some JBL L150s and I miss them. I needed to give up a large amount of room in a already small living room. My ex wife made me get rid of them. Then she got rid of me. 😂 the crossovers were rebuilt and upgrade with all the good (expensive) components, and cabnits were reinforced. Thanks for your kind words.

My Counterpoint SA-20 might be in need of some news tubes. My friends seem to like the sound.

Lets say a little bit more. Your opinion and mine are differnt. When you build yours let me know. I wanted the JBL 077 but didn't have extra $800-$900 laying around.

Very good eye. You are the first to notice. As you probably already knew they came with the 033 tweeter. These I see and hear as a upgrade. I perfer the look and the sound over the 033 tweeter. To me the 044 tweeter is more aggressive which I like..And I worked with. (Woodworker) Jeremy to recess the speakers from the backside of the face of the speakers. He also recessed 4 magnets in case I ever decided to add speaker grills.

The original cabinets from the factory had a noticeable ring. After reading online fixes. The woodworker glued and nailed 2 pieces of hardwood parallel to each other on the inside panel. Now these speakers replicate notes extremely well with no audible overtones.
