Burhoe Acoustics update

I'm the guy who found a decent pair of Burhoe Acoustics two-way speakers, the "Light Blue" model, in a thrift store for $10. The foam surrounds on the woofers were shot, so I pulled out an extra "no-name" set of high-end woofers with very heavy magnets (Audax?) and swapped them out. In the process, I did my very first soldering ever -- fun!

Anyway, they sound great -- more bass than before, but not boomy or flabby at all. Running in tandem with my Goodmans Magnum XLRs and powered by a Kyocera A-710 integrated amp, they are phenomenal.

I didn't expect much from the Burhoes because of their simple design and layout, but boy was I wrong. These are keepers, and the heavy wood veneer cabinets are built to last.

Now that I can solder, I'm thinking of all sorts of experiments I can try with in my mad speaker scientist's lab ...
