Great timing on this thread! ;) Today I drove down to Everett in Dixie to pick up a second pair of Speaker Lab 3s and the guy wanted to know if I was interested in his Speaker Lab Corner Horns!! I declined but I did pick up a pair of Vifa tweeters while I was there. The tweeters in the 3s had been replaced with Radio Shack crap - the woofers had been replaced with Pyramids too... But I now have a full set of good drivers, 4 nice walnut cabinets and a spare pair of crossovers, just in case. These are the 4th pair of Speaker Labs that I've brought home in Dixie - the first pair came home in my '84! ;) Seeya, Jake On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 5:25 PM, Mike Miller <mwmiller@cwnet.com> wrote: > Get a pair of corner horns to go with the Cornwalls and you have the > makings > of a pretty good Van stereo > > > On 9/16/10 5:01 PM, "David Milo" <dellaone@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > > > I have two Klipsch Cornwall II's, but they will not fit in the space > allowed > > in the Vanagon's front door speaker cut-outs.
