 Are these considered vintage? If not let me know please. I'm wondering if anyone might know what the crossover points might be on this system (3-way with down firing 8" woofer} Thanks in advance!

 were real good too, breaking all the rules - 5 tweeters firing at all angles, 5 inch midrange was front facing - but is was rear mounted to the baffle - firing through the baffle opening without flairs or anything to limit diffraction. Rear mounted woofer.

 Well as you might imagine the PS-9's woofers foam is almost completely gone and need to be re-foamed. The remnants show that these surrounds were rolled under, does this sound correct for the original woofers and has anyone ever re-foamed a woofer in this way? My experience with woofer restoration does not include this type of surround replacement.Any thoughts?







As always, Thanks in advance for your help!
