I like mine a lot. When I first listened to them (driven by a elcheapo SS receiver) at the sellers home, They sounded a little rugged but promising. I wrote the hardness off to the fact that the amplification was not ideal to say the least. When I got them home and hooked them up to a Sherwood 6BQ5 integrated I was exteremly happy with my purchase.

I didn't do much with them for the longest time because I already had something that I was reasonably pleased with. My set-up is active x-over with biamp (tubes) and I was using various bass enclosures and drivers. My thinking at the time was to build my own enclosures and use the single JBL 2225H I owned and keep looking for another. If finally dawned on me that I had a great sounding horn loaded enclosure with the dixielanders just sitting there collecting dust and they might work very well for what I was trying to accomplish.

I ended up removing the horn and compression driver and just bypassing the existing x-over so that it could be used in my system. Not sure about yours, but mine were more of a "utility" cab. that had seen a few coats of black paint. A little rough around the edges from a cosmetic standpiont to say the least. A audio friend of mine who had more experience in veneering cabinets offered to bring them to his shop and help me to dress up the cabs with a nice mahogany veneer so that what I ended up doing.

They turned out very nice and like I said, Im very pleased using mine this way. It still floors me when I listen to the clean refined bass that driver puts out in that funky cabinet design.
