Bringing some old speakers back to life with a little bit of love and elbow grease.

Dude why'd you take the tags off the front grill? That's what makes these so cool!

Tweeters are always on the top or on the outsides. Up to you with the sound. Enjoy. 🎵 Thanx for the video.

Nice men. You gave me a feeling of guilt. Threw away a pair some 25 years ago. I will make one this 2020. I love your video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻🇵🇭👌😎

Ya I am looking for a set of cast iron speaker boxes, I think my best bet would be old castle basements.

I bought a pair of vintage magnovox bookshelf speakers at a yard sale for $1.00 the lady wanted $5.00 but when I ask if the work she said i don't know, but you can have them for $1 😎 they are in very good shape and sound good too. I believe they are from the 1960's . I don't know if they are worth more.

As the story goes, the ' XAM ' speakers were house brand speakers of Crazy Eddie in NYC. He got the ' XAM ' from his dog Max, and just reversed the letters... Crazy Eddie would make margin on a stereo system by including the XAM speakers, which were dirt cheap to make. In the mean time, he sold the rest of the system for 5% profit, but made margin on the speakers, which he would mark up 500%...

They sound extremely "thin" and "dead". But that's probably because they weren't designed to be driven with only 2 watts per channel -- which is about what that little amp puts out.

Onneff69 Yeah, going back I should've hung on to these a little longer and demo'd them with a more powerful amp. That little RadioShack amp was for the bench, I have upgraded though.

They sound like every other XAM speaker - they sound like shit. These were budget brand EJ Korvette dept. store brand speakers. They used the least expensive components available at the time. And they sound like it.
