thanks for all the advice. the room sounds good and mackie hr824's on
pedestals in front of the UREI's sound as expected. i think that
reconing the 809's speakers, replacing the diaphragms, and recapping
the crossover is the cheapest and easiest place to start. and if i
still don't like them, at least then they'll have some resale value.
"new england speaker" in stoneham, mass is close by. while they are a
bit grumpy, they've done a good job repairing guitar speakers for me in
the past. anyone have experience with them pertaining to studio
monitors?
thanks
