Very nice, where/how did you score those?

 

[bolly]

thanks richfoub! I was just having a look through eBay and there they were! I'm not expecting miracles for sound but one never knows... at least they look cool

thanks Gm, most appreciated! I'll start with mounting them in the same OB's my beta 8's are in

Hey Bolly, interested to know what you did with these? How did they sound?

 

[bolly]

hi silrod, unfortunately they were too small to fit in the existing beta 8 holes so I put them in a slightly smaller than a Dynaco a25 box, they sound ok but I honestly haven't tried much with them
