Looking good

Using RL6000 speakers (same as 60.2's, just in a different finish) in my Beocenter 9300 setup, they rock

Thanks! Yeah, pretty fast. Got the materials yesterday around 2:30 and finished up last night around 9:00. Luckily I had the SEC Championship to keep me occupied between paint coats.

You must have made those stands in a hurry! That was quick dude!!! Nice result

Have them hooked up now and made some really cool looking stands I think. Check them out.

Bargain!

Really good speakers, my favourite of the redlines

Just picked these up. They are in amazing condition. 1 owner and have only ever been mounted on the wall in a kid/pet/smoke free house! Haven't been used at all in 12 years. Can't wait to get them home.

Thanks again for everyone's help. Feeling pretty good about the $100 for sure...

I'll second Mika there, they are impressive for their size but aren't really a large caliber speaker. When I was recently holding a set, all I wanted to do was listen sanely and mind you, that isn't like me! They are at their best when played gently.

Understood. Thanks.

One last thing...Can you get a good bit of volume out of these?

I would say surprisingly much for that size & form factor. But they aren't any disco PA speakers - keep the level sane, you don't want to burn them!

Thanks for all the help! I was thinking of maybe building some
(wood) stands. Since I have the wall mounts it shouldn't be too
hard I wouldn't think. Maybe just model them after the original
stands. I would like to replace the capacitors but I don't really
have the knowledge for that unfortunately. Once I get them maybe
that will be my next project. Glad to hear that the foam rot is not
an issue with the 60.2's.

Thanks again for the help.

BTW Jason,

If you feel up to it, replace the capacitors on the crossover. You simply won't believe your ears!

Might need the drivers' surrounds replaced if they have foam rot. Still worth it though.

Not a problem in 60.2, they have rubber surrounds.

Definitely a good buy unless they look horrible externally. But prepare for additional cost if you want to keep them anywhere else than on the floor. The stands don't come for free if you try to get them separately!

Edit: just noticed that wall mounts are included

Thanks, Evan. Just wanted a bit of reassurance!

I would do it! You will like the 60.2s.

They should be just fine with a 7000.
