Made In USA – Need Repair
Blown Horns/Tweeters, 12-Inch Woofers Appear Fine
Original Owner from early 2000’s. These were used in a basement recording/practice studio and was never gigged or transported. They are showing their age with patina and some light corrosion, etc. But they are solid construction, heavy/solid and could be a relatively easy repair. The carpet covering is in decent shape, has a little "basement" mustiness to them, smells like vintage!
Tested out and the woofers appear to be working fine but the tweeters/horns are blown on both speaker cabinets. I recall now that our band retired them for that reason and we bought a set of Mackie SRM450’s to replace them, so these never got repaired.
Due to age and condition as described, these are sold as a pair and AS IS.
