You could always put em up against one wall with a slab of glass over them and call it a side table  ;D

Seriously though, your friend does some nice work. And congrats on the wedding!

Vigo:
Congrats! I'm sure anybody who tries to leave their beer on top of one of your speakers is a candidate to have their head chopped off.

congrats on the wedding!

BTW your "F3" is what the speaker and the box is "tuned" to. IE: when playing a particular frequency it has a natural resonance... the combination of the speaker and the box together. the speaker will have a natural resonant frequency (FS) but when paired with the enclosure, it will change. (back pressure waves, bass ports etc.) often audio enthusiasts will build a box to complement the natural frequency to attain boost in that frequency. in your case 34 cycles per second. or 34hz. if you where to play a 34hz tone through your speakers and measured it with a decibel meter you would find it would likely be loudest at 34hz.

now here is the interesting bit:

you have (what looks to be) a 6 1/2 inch driver with a 34hz F3. often this is only attainable with larger speakers (8/10/12 inch woofers). someone really knows their math.  :cheers:

If you play a 34hz tone through and measure its frequency response you should only get sound at 34hz. If you send white noise through the speaker and measure it you will likely find it's higher at 34hz.

Have it gone over and recapped. Once they're brought back up to proper operation, that old stuff really performs. Anything new is junk for the most part.

Thanks everyone, oh and for the one congrats on the wedding and speakers.

As far as the receiver, what does it mean to recap it? Is that to make sure the receiver is still shielded and works well? As I said before, I know nothing about receivers. I went to fry's a while ago with another friend who was looking for a receiver with HD sound or something like that, can you recommend a receiver (old or new) that works well with current gen stuff? I know the ps2 used to have some special output for a certain type of audio cable (can't remember the name) but is there a certain type of connection I should be looking for in an audio receiver?. 

HaRuMaN:
TOSLINK cable? 

Go for a good receiver... I have an Onkyo with 7.1 sound, and love it...  The one I have upscales and sends everything through one HDMI cable, which means only 1 cable running to the TV.
