Vintage easy-to-work-on speakers

[jazzpiano]

Hello,

I am looking for suggestions for simple, 2 or 3-way speakers from the past with removable backs to refurbish - new caps, wire, connectors, and possible reinforcement/stuffing. Any suggestions other than Spendor BC 1/SP 1, which I own?

Thanks,
Barry :cool:

Goodmans, Celestions etc were usually easy to work on.

Celestion ditton 15xr very very easy to work on, you can cut your teeth on these.

Thank you gentlemen. Looking to refurb some cheap but respectable speakers for my adult kids and have a little fun in the process.

Best,
Barry

I second Goodmans, you can achieve some great results with a little xover tinkering. M

Wharfedale Dentons will make a good project. Here's one I made earlier

Klipschorns? A bit more complex, joint-wise!

Acoustic Research (AR) and KLH are easy to work on vintage speakers. Nice sound too. Plenty of old AR's come up for sale needing new foam surrounds, which are easy to obtain and easy to fit.
