    Very nice, how big are the woofers? How low do they go?

    My guess, knowing Goodmans drivers, is that the bass will extend to maybe around 30 Hz.

    Nice find, I've always fancied picking up a pair of Radford speakers for interest's sake (being a bit of a RAdford fan).

    A bit confusing because the literature say 12” but they’re 10” 🤷🏼*♂️
