fantastic Will...

how do they sound...?

i like the cardboard.

i'm going again to test some rather large bass speakers this week on my amp..

if they work..and they are movable.. i too may have another set of speakers for eggy

That is really corrugated cardboard? Not a hoptical illusion

Its difficult to figure as a single OB with no bass and a single Jericho, the left channel is 15 yards behind the right.
What I can hear is a ease, they dont huff and puff like the Fostex magnets that have a driven sound, sorta.
Power is 100v 73ma x 2.

I think they are 50-60 years old off Ebay.

There is another 8" German field coil in development, when it will be ready I don't know.
