I received the oem Eminence speakers from Orange County Speaker repair. However, it is late at night. Baby and wife are sleeping. I'll have to try them out tomorrow.

The speakers were very easy to exchange. All I needed was a screw driver. The speaker wires are clipped with banana clips. As easy as pie. Well tomorrow will be the proof that I didn't cross any wires. Let's see, the black wires went on the left, or was that the right ... Just kidding.

The new speakers weigh about 3lbs. more than the Eminence Alphas. I'm interested in hearing if the frequency response of these oem speakers (40hz-5000khz) translates into better bass than the Eminence Alphas (65hz-5000khz).

I was struck that there is nothing in that cabinet but a lot of empty space. Is it like that with all amps? I wish they had created space to store cables.

I'll keep you posted.
