California Labs. -
Tweeters were Vifa units made to Castle spec, 6 dB more sensitive than the standard Vifa unit, I had to replace mine but couldn't get the drivers they now have B&G planar tweeters which had to be padded down to level the originals, but their FR is better. The only problem is the grilles no longer fit.

I have the Howard S1 and they are not at all boomy in the bass. Bought them in 1995 and still have them.

New 10" Peerless driver has arrived for the subbie and been fitted in place temporarily (until cabinet is finished). Sounds much better out of the box, not a cheap driver but much better than the chap 12" that is in the pics above. Pics to come later if there is any interest.
