    yes, it is so.

    I actually still like the idea of using the dustcap of a cone driver to extend HF response and performance relative to a small cone "alone" -- it is a cheap and, in its own way, elegant solution. It is still a little odd, though... especially to modern sensibilities.

    I picked up some MINTY advent cabinets years ago that a guy placed on the side of the road and put a post on Craig's list saying, "Speaker cabinets for free. Perfect cond.. needs speakers. First one here gets them. I'll remove the ad when they're gone.

    Or something close to that. I live about 3 miles from that place and I beat another guy to them, I found out later on. I think I have tweeters for them. The woofers aren't that much but I just haven't done a thing with them besides putting them on a shelf. :#:'(

    Those were very likely mine, hehe. If so, New Large with newer woofer without masonite ring adapter & orange fried egg tweeters. I had WAY too many Advents at the time, so had to part out that pair after they didn't sell locally. Really missing a couple of those now. (sniff)

    Good to see you updating those Originals, @machone. Well done!
