Thank you for the encouragement. This project exists only for fun/learning. I don't think they will be competition for my good speakers.
I find it fascinating how these speakers appear to be very good quality (1" thick braced enclosures, heavy nice looking drivers, well veneered cabinets, etc) but the design is at the same time very poor. At first I didn't believe the cabinet alignment could be deliberately designed so poorly but it appears to be so. It's no wonder you didn't like the sound. All the same, what an interesting time and place in history these are from.
Once I get the cabinets sorted out I sure hope the crossovers and mids/tweeters don't need an equal amount of rework. One thing that raised a bit of an alarm is that two different types of mids are in parallel! Will cross that bridge later though, the fake JBL style acoustic lens has me convinced these are good, for now.
