Yeah... of your speakers.

On my site I have a section called "Inside the loudspeakers" - this is where I provide any kind of information about a particular speaker... build, etc - something the manufacturer might not tell the customer...

So I am asking anyone who is daring enough to tear their speakers down and take some pictures and post them in this thread or send them to vr3mxdmicblce2k7@gmail.com - pictures would be credited to you, of course.. but I want to provide a nice library of loudspeakers. Any brands... towers... subs... bookshelfs... surrounds... centers...

Lets see what yall got...

Here where the section is...

http://www.eandr.biz/ASDirectoryPicturesISTLS.html

I havnt quite got it all up yet though...

    Construction details on the Soliloquys have been emailed to you. Didn't remove the drivers to take pics of those.

    This is pretty much what I am looking for...

    http://www.eandr.biz/ASISTLSDTBP10B.html

    Any type of pictures... information you can provide.

    Basically your trying to explain to people WHY its a good speaker... what it features (honest) and why it could be what they want...

    What would you like for LSi pics? I have everything in the LSi line except the 25s including the PSW1000. Would you want internal pics of every model or just one?

    Just let me know and I'll get you whatever you need.

    BTW.....Cool Idea! let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

    Edit: I'll also send pics of the new Energy RC-10s if you would like.

    good quality... I have about 2,000 MB to deal with here... but keep 56 K users in mind as if they still walk this earth... lol

    Around 100 KB (can be more... can be less)

    Most of the ones I take range between 50-100

    Monitor 7B's - no internal bracing and made of particle / chip board but they still sound pretty decent.

    Hope you can use em.

    Athena Sub8 - once again 3/4" particle board. 8" driver and a little tiny amp. Nothing special here but it does fairly well for its size. I was amazed at the crappy build quality compared to what came out of it when it was in my system.

    Trey, you want vintage stuff? 60's, 70's? If so, I'll search my archive - I've got plenty of AR, Altec, JBL, Electrovoice, etc....

    Well I shrinked them and doctored them...

    But they are just incredibly hi-res (or just take up a nice chunk of file)...

    Its alright as far as a server goes... but its more so the dial up users Im worried about...

    PSW650 page-

    LSi9 Page-
    http://www.eandr.biz/ASISTLSPolkLSi9.html

    Ill get to the Energy page in a sec... it will require a bit of research... dun dun

    Amazing though the similarities between Energy and Def Tech as far as build goes and overall design.
