Please stop reminding me, my wallet gets strangely scared and my credit
card hides whenever you mention them, it would be worse even if it were
D123's, and I really ain't no use for them but drooling and putting into
totally useless cabinets and power with a Bang & Olufsen "Dirigent"
valved receiver from 1963. A pair of LE8T's however .... it could be fun
trying the real stuff in place of Corals 8F60 semi-clone of them for
midrange.

They actually 'did' sound pretty good in the Pioneer HPM cab's; but
don't get too excited. I bought 'em used over 15 years ago. They've
had a pretty easy life since then, but one was obviously reconed before
I got 'em. The surrounds don't match, and I concerned that one or the
other has a generic voice coil.

I don't have a certified genuine k-120 to compare, so I don't know which
--if indeed either--one is original. They both work well, sound the
same...IIRC, the serial numbers are reasonably close.

There's no doubt of the authenticity of the basket, though. g

In any case, I've got a deal going with a former customer of mine,
who--almost thirty years back--bought a set of HPM-100's, a set of
HPM-40's and a Technics SA 5760 from me.

I found and installed new woofs for the HPM-40's last year. (Hows that
for warranty service? g)

He's willing to trade me the receiver for the k's in order to fix his
100's...until he can find OEM woofs to replace the ones he blew way
back. After that, he's gonna put the JBLs in his bass guitar cabinet.
