    I happen to have a spare set of old cabs. Will need a new veneer job or paint. You can have them for free, but will need to pay for packing and shipping.

    Otherwise I can measure and give you internal volume, baffle widths, etc. The original cabs did not have internal reinforcement. Old school, not modern heroic or semi-heroic construction.

    Honestly, I would do something different with the drivers and use them for mids on up and mate with a big woofer.

    You have got to be kidding me, this is pretty amazing dumb luck on my part. I am quite interested in getting them shipped to me. I will PM you.

    Are these modified Lowthers? They look the same. Otherwise who made the drivers?

    Also on that website, I found something interesting. This, made by laconic in Russia, like the highly regarded blues night mini... but its eddie current....

    resurrecting an old thread because I hooked up my Liquid Glass to drive the Cicadas this evening as a warmup to having a few folk over in 2 weeks for some good old fashioned socializing
    - vocals , acoustic , piano are awesome . Not enough grunt to carry bass lines

    Would probably work better if up against the wall too ( and with the sub hooked up to them instead of the maggies )
