Hmmm...in that case could you suggest a pair of 3 way speakers that sound
really good (with or without a tweak or two) that deliver thunderous bass
and cost around 40 quid a pair (plus an extra tenner in this case for the
replacement mid drivers).

Me...I'm not too bothered how original they are or they stay ; I'm only in
it for the sounds!

I recently came by a pair of Leak 600 Sandwich speakers: Sandwich 12"
bass
driver, 3½" paper cone mid and a plastic dome tweeter (I know, most of
the 600s had a Sandwich mid as well, but not this pair).

The mid drivers in both were stone dead (rattle croak fluff) and as
result I
need to fit some different mid units. The original mid units had around
16
ohm impedance, I believe, and the new ones 8 ohms; some work is therefore
going to be needed on the crossover points as the current values will be
well off for 8 ohm drivers.

I am thinking about designing new boxes and dropping the crossover
frequency
between bottom and mid a bit as I have to attack the crossovers anyway,
so
any info whatsoever would be a big help.

It was a wonderful axe that lasted him all his life.

He changed the head three times and the handle twice !!
