Hello folks, I'm looking for some advice...

I bought a pair of Heathkit AS-101 speakers (Altec Valencia 846A clones) with blown tweeters for $20. Bill at Great Plains fixed me up with new diaphragms, etc. and now the AS-101s sound terrific with a modest Tripath-based amp I put together. These things are big and have a very low WAF indeed.

Should I continue to campaign to get these things out of the garage and into the living room?

or

Should I eBay the drivers and use those funds to buy a kit from Northcreek or Pi? (Or another supplier...)

I'd appreciate any advice you guys can offer about bang-for-the-buck and such things.
