[QUOTE="Chris Davis, post: 49513, member: 137"] Re: Eaw la 325 help needed. Nice speakers. Used to own some but too heavy for me though. I don't think EAW sells speakers that have clipped off wires on them. My thoughts are that the tweeter is the most expensive component. That goes for many two or three way boxes out there that have a halfway decent comp driver. From what I remember you might be looking at a $300-$400 driver (late 90s to early 2000s prices). As far as I know, the mid has been changed, due to the product falling out of availability. Interesting way to balance things. Or learn how to be a better backyard tinkerer. Good question. You know, the kind of question that the good engineers at EAW solved, oh....maybe 13-15 years ago? On a side note, I have purchased used EAW speakers with the crossovers totally shot to hell. The only thing the previous owner didn't do was bury them in his back yard. It was worth it to me to replace everything on the crossover except the inductors. The mids and tweeters were intact, the woofers were toast. In the end I still think I got a good deal. I used a crossover from a store-bought LA325 for all the specifics on the crossovers. I used all official EAW parts, and after I was done I couldn't tell the difference between the store bought and refurb boxes. [/QUOTE]
