Just got done refoaming both mids, both woofers, and both passive radiators for a total of 6 refoamed drivers. Cleaned and lubed the potentiometers for the tweeters and mids while I was at it. Quite a bit of work went into these and they don't disappoint. They sound great, and look great. They have a real wood veneer not simulated wood vinyl. Just put a fresh coat of wood wax on the veneer to bring out the deep quality and color of the wood grain. There is a little bit of bubbling in the veneer that isn't very noticeable. Realistic definitely produced some "sleeper" gear and these fall into that category. Rivals JBL and Klipsch for sound and quality build, but without the pricetag. These are the top of the line model for this generation and were the replacement for their legendary Mach 1's.
