Hi, I have a guy in my area that has 4 model 10's ( 10 and 10b) to sell for 50 bucks each.
I'm looking at two for a future bedroom rig.

I’m thinking about replacing the cabinets with real wood. I would like some of those nifty stands and perhaps screens if I came across some.
I suspect that I do not have the preferred tweeters or for that matter model from the 10 series but I’m trying to figure out if I should go for the 10’s or 10b’s as indicated in the photos? :confused:
What do you think? Any thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

    I'm guessing the ones in the pics are 10b's with the silver coil tweets (SL2000s?).

    If the 10s have the peerless tweeters i think i'd take them instead.

    I would get the 10B's and upgrade the crossovers to accept the RDO198's
