A lot of people seem to find my website and want to ask about something. But, they then ask the question on the eBay message board. Please, Please do not do that. On that eBay message board, I am only allowed to discuss things that are for sale on eBay. As soon as the conversation gets around to something I have but that is not listed on eBay, I am not allowed to answer the question. I am not even alowed to tell you on the eBay message board that you will have to contact me directly for that type of question. eBay is very serious about this. Already got suspended for a week and threatened witth being banned from eBay if I answer those questions. Just send me an email bobcrites@gmail.com
UPDATE 08/15/16
We are happy to announce the availability of a new product. This is a new driver to replace the Klipsch K-55X, K-55V, K-55M, K-51V or any others with 1 3/8 thread. These are a product of John Allen of High Performance Stereo. He has invested 10 years and $150,000 in development of this driver which he is convinced is the best midrange driver ever made. I think he is right.
