    You are a busy bee

    I am constantly amazed at the bounty you acquire. You must be Rick Cobb's best customer though.

    good guess, but wrong...I was in Asia a month ago and visited the foam factory ...this is what I stuffed in my suitcases....you would fall over if you knew what I paid for the foams OR the speakers.
    ( I traded for the L36's - 2 turntables that combined were $8....almost makes up for the real money that I've spent for audio gear in the past))

    You are truly certifiable!
    . . . . the kind of example I point out to my wife whenever she thinks my hobbies have pushed me over the edge. That's why one of my best friends is a young guy with 42 motorcycles.

    Here's more to add to my certificate, Phil............

    ( had to even it out since I got rid of a pair of L-26's last night)

    Congrats Seawolf.

    Do you still have your 4412s? Once you've refoamed the Horizons I'd be interested in your A/B impressions, if you'd be inclined to do such a comparison.

    Take dimensions of the one grille- I still have these mystery grilles here, might be useful to you:

    I have spare L-26 grills and always thot them the came cab as the L-36,,but I tried them, the L-36 is about 3/4 inch wider. The L36 grill also has a verticle metal bar in the middle from top to bottom - forming a slight "V".

    The L-36 grill is exactly 13.5x24
