I'm torn about what to do with these speakers. I've been dragging them around with me for over 2 decades, they're like family. But now one speaker "pops" with any volume, there is some veneer missing on both of them, and I thought they've sounded a little dull for the last few years. Dull to the point of needing to use an EQ to get any high end sparkle. These things weigh a ton and I think it would be a shame to just toss them into a dumpster after all these years.
I've thought about opening these things up, ditching all the original electronics in favor of new, putting in new stuffing and maybe getting a sound I like. The grills can stay original or go I guess it just depends on how easy they come off. And the veneer I can fix, anything wood related I can do. It’s just that I’ve been toying with the idea of building my own speakers and why spend the money and time on the 501’s…
Alright, I’m just a big fat wus! I don’t want these taking up space sounding and looking as bad as they do but I don’t want to toss them either. WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE A DECISION FOR ME!
