How they sound to me is ...

69.30.72.240

Surprisingly good given their age.

Sounds like one has a little more treble than the other. I assume that's a crossover thing, that some capacitors have long failed to outlive their uselessness.

Good bass for little 8-inchers in not-too-big boxes. I haven't tried taking them apart to see if one of those woofers is a passive.

The sound is plenty bright for me, and I like them a little bright because of my superannuated hearing.

There does sound like a little distortion in the sound, though. Is this something that is likely caused by deterioration of the crossovers, something that should clear up when I get the right frequencies going to the right drivers?

So, these guys were glued together to stay that way forever, and I'm going to have to pry them open. When I do that, I'll probably want to make backs for them. What's the best way to attach a back to a speaker so that it closes up with proper snugness but is reasonably removable?
