Finished in Africian Rosewood.
Beautiful.
Satellites were B2's.
A babysitter trying to use my ARC SP6E & D100B.
Melted the woofers because she didn't know what the mute
switch was for until flipped it off with the volume control
on full high.
My son said it was really loud dad!
The voice coils were melted.
That's a lot worse than my cleaning lady dusting off my turntable's stylus.Did you get it fixed?

Yes I replaced them with Frieds new drivers at that time.
A polypropylene instead of Bextrene driver.
Cleaner bass.
IIRC they were $300.00 a pair.
That was way more then 30 years ago.
Today my wife made a knit blanket for that girl.
Now a women with kids of her own.
If I still had those speakers they would have had all the foam
dampening material removed, and replaced with 10 oz poly fill.
Another good mod was to take the two huge air coil coils in the crossover box and get them as far apart as possible. They interacted causing inter channel interference. I once got in trouble when Bud Fried heard I told some friends to try it. It made the reproduction much more open.
Years after I sold my 'H' sub I built a pair of subs based on my
Fried model 'H' sub using the planes that came with it.
I built them as two separate subs so I could have forward facing drivers.
Plenty of separation of those coils.
I think that Bud made two separate subs as stands for the satellites and called them Model O. I cannot remember where the transmission exit was for those, but I may have plans for them somewhere.

Yes he had a model O and M.
IIRC one had a 10" driver. The other 12".
Heard one of them at Designatron (sp) Setauket, NY.
A long time ago.
Very interesting.
I can understand local pickup only. The Model RIIs are the heaviest speakers I've ever messed with.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Stringplay is in CA, the Hs were mine but i never put it together after i bought it from a friend. i used the 150# sub with a 36" tube type tv setting on it. flat to 16Hz.
i retired from Nuclear Medicine and moved to a house with my daughter and her husband. my living room is much smaller so out went a lot of things. i was a borderline hoarder so that was predictable.
