New AL-III Shop Speakers
« on: August 23, 2010, 08:09:01 PM »
 ;D ;D ;D  These have been modded with an extra maggie ribbon. Thank you Planarguy!  These will be down here for the next meeting. They will also be going to CF, then they will go to their final resting spot in my living room.

*sigh*.... Is it sad that reading this, I just closed my eyes and envisioned AL-III's in my livingroom in the place of my SDA's?
