I will seldom offer modified classic speakers, but when I was offered an empty pair of rare mid-1970's KLH 354 cabinets with grilles and crossovers, I set about the task of putting them together. The key was tracking down some NOS Peerless tweeters, then the realization set in that no original woofers would ever be available. I set about running the parameters of every 8 ohm 11" woofer that would physically fit and one choice emerged that would embrace the acoustic suspension cabinet and efficiency. At that point with the woofer having a rubber edge, I chose the improved 80's version of the original midrange which also incorporated a rubber surround. The person who provided the enclosures gave me a magazine ad page from 1976 (from Penthouse...)
All this being said I'm selling them for $500 /pair which is far less than they would be worth if they were all original, but the performance & reliability is superior to what they were.
