I was curious as to what everyone recommends for stereo speakers that sound OK, fit & are concours acceptable? All thoughts welcome & being an audio engineer I'm sorry to tell everyone that speakers deteriorate over time just like tires & seals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . This is happening to your home speakers as well & is unfortunately normal. Anyway, what's good, fits & will pass judging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ?

I made my own adapters out of extremely thin plywood, spray painted them black, mounted them to the stock enclosures & in turn mounted the speakers to the plywood. The main problem I encountered was the heater tubes that run directly behind the enclosures; they're so big they bump into the magnets on the backs of my speakers. This brings up another "catch 22"- the larger the magnet the better the sound but then they don't fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ! So you wind up getting Radio Shack tin because they fit well w/ their small magnets. As for the deteriorating rubber you can always have a speaker re-coned, if you can find someone that still practices the ancient art. Like everything else in our "disposable" society now they just get pitched & replaced.

So I guess the final question is: can Pat tell there's an adapter and are you gonna get dinged on concours points?
