    If you still have your 7Bs I highly recommend you try them!

    I sold the 7B's a little while back. I never hooked them up. Just have SDA's and Monitor 10's now. But I would liked to have tried this mod but never thought about it really.

    @marvda1 I can dig it. I've seen alligator covered speakers but never lizard. Check these out...I also have black and burgundy but these are worn the most.

    Here at the CCP, it's a right of passage, a badge of honor to have gone through the fire, tempered yet unscathed. Well done my friend. :D

    Russ I believe the side firing woofers are suppose to be on the inside firing towards each other with that particular model.(?)

    The one thing I have found with the side firing woofer speakers is that it is completely dependent upon the room itself as to what actually sounds better. FWIW. YMMV.

    @recoveryone - I have this sneaking suspicion that you like bass....😉😀

    That makes since. They sounded great firing at each other in my room. Just a suggestion.

    Yes, he does :) He can buy from a place like Crutchfield, and if he doesn't hear a difference, he can return them.
