Also just dropped AUD$15 at the tip shop on this sick upgrade for my lounge system (and an hour to remove all the rattles and fix the door).

A home theater, room treatment, serious audio discussion thread would be nice. It's so hard to sift through a place like AVS or get a straight answer from people who think you need four 18" subs to enjoy a movie. If KozmoNaut did an OP about it I'd contribute.

Tannoys a great brand. These are 40 years old, but they're fifteens so they should play low. Expect to spend money on them (roll surrounds if you can find them, and crossover caps) but they should be nice.

Surrounds have been done already and I can probably do the crossover caps myself, but yeah I'm happy with them so far.

I'm getting conflicting information. They seem to be a ported two way twelve, so spring for a replacement ribbon driver now, redo the crossover when you can, and they should be good for another 20 years.
