    Right, 'IF' you could find a direct replacement, today the cost would be at least a 4 X multiplier, and the choices are few. Yes, vintage is a bit of work, but once the work is done, the value is...

    I totally agree. Wetsounds did a great job on the original non-HLCD dedicated-marine Surf Speaker, the Icon8. But doing the same scaled up into a larger 10" version has its challenges. You can only...
