Reload NS-10s or buy something else?

Post by Clytor » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:44 pm

I have just acquired some NS-10s, for free basically. Both horns and woofers need to be replaced. Do I spend $450 to rebuild them or spend the money on something else? I have about a $600 budget for this.

reload 'em.

worth every penny to do so. you'll have a set of monitors that you may nopt love, but that are still a de facto standard and very useful.

I'll give you $100 for the shells and rebuild them myself if you want to get rid of them.
