    Haroo! You little big horn bastige you. I'll try to find out more based on the model. Utah was (is) known for their drivers. Unfortunately, I don't think Klipsch ever used them. Got a Pic?

    How did that zobel/baffle step end up treating you?

    ill post a pic tommorow, the driver is blue metal basket w/ 2 3-4in tweets or fullrangers. they are heavy 50-60lbs, nice vaneered plywood,very old nylon (3 tone brown) fixed grills, screw connectors, .
    other than that ,the horns are rockin' today i put some 3 1/2in horn tweeters on them... WOW bright,alive highs,,, blends nice.
    the audio bug hit again,i pulled out hte old jvc l-a10 tt and ran it through the tube amp. HOLY SHEIT! the album "aja" by steelie dan has really reawakined the warm vinal love that i once had!

    Utah as far as I know is now known as pyle, at least that is what I was told some years back. I used t have a pair of small bookshelf units that sounded darn good until a buddy of mine fried the woofs.
