Remove one of the tweeters and if the negative, white wire quick connect is larger than the positive quick connect, the tweeters are RD-0198's and they are TL's. Same size means the tweeters are RD-0194's and they're 1.2's.

"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
Saw an ad for these locally. One good, one not so good. Seller states that the right speaker decided lay down quite suddenly. a few of the MW's and some tweeters didn't survive. 800 bucks.
That's a shame and proof that some people shouldn't be allowed to own nice things
Hold on, hold on. Yes, it is a shame, but accidents happen. I had a pair of Bostons come down to the floor once, but luckily, they survived another day. I also dropped a receiver. Both I regret, although luckily neither was a (big) loss. But does that mean that I should not be allowed to own nice things?
For all we know, his dog tried to take a nap between the speaker and the wall which pushed it over.
This post came out harsher than intended, and I do apologize for that. I don't want this to turn into an argument, but I want to defend anyone who has had an accident such as this before, myself included.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.
What's up with those foam looking things? I thought only the original 2.3's used donuts on the midwoofers and even those are donuts that only cover the cone area not the dust cap and everything. Even the drivers on the left side of the picture look suspect to me. Also looks like the vinyl? on the baffle at the bottom is peeling. The PR are starting to bubble. Those have definitely had a rough life. Possible water damage at the bottom?

I wonder if that speakon connection is air tight?

I forgot to make sure MINE were air-tight. Thanks for the reminder.
Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
Some are not air tight John. They are not made that way. If you bought those we recommend they are unless you have a loose screw
Lol! Ivan I'm assuming you're referring to the Speakon connector, correct?

I agree, plus who knows what condition the cabinet is in after it's swan dive.

Not only that, but they aren't air tight (note the gaping hole below the terminal cup).
