Faitail 3FE25 (4-Ohm) in PVC enclosures

This was my first exposure to full-range sound. It is a pair of Faital 3FE25 4-Ohm speakers (ferrite magnets, not the neo) in a PVC enclosure with a BB baffle. They're weird in that they require some sort of stand (I was using clamp-on camera mounts).

The baffle is glued-on, but the rear cap is pressed-on. The drivers are screwed into the baffle. So if you want to play around with these, doing so is very doable.

There are no filter components between the banana jacks (they're not binding posts, just banana jacks) and the drivers.

I did initially get some buzz from one of the drivers (could only hear it on solo Piano), it turned out to be the tinsel lead vibrating in the through-hole. I pushed it over and it was fine. On a subsequent pair of these drivers, I found that the manufacturer had started putting a dab of silicone in this spot. I didn't do so, figuring I would if it became a problem again, but it didn't. Just full disclosure.

I'm asking $89 shipped to the lower-48. A great way to give full-range a shot.
