And they're back
the local retired guy charged $25 cash per speaker to recone them. Put them back into the tower cabinets and they sound great. Depending upon local weather in future years, they should last long enough until I reach the point of not caring about them anymore.
Tested them by starting our with Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky". Almost no other rock song has such a distinctive opening, except maybe Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water".) Then followed up with Supertramp's "Crime Of The Century" album - on vinyl.
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
-- E.L. Doctorow
