Hackjob

Getting my first vintage receiver was probably the most exciting piece of my foray into vintage audio gear. While I've changed other components of my setup around several times, this is the one piece of the puzzle that's remained constant over the past year plus, and it's not from a brand most people will immediately recognize. Here's why.

Speakerlab probably isn't a name that rings any bells for most people outside of the Pacific Northwest, which makes it even more weird that I found a pair of their speakers sitting in a Goodwill in the middle of Texas. Initially not knowing what the hell these things were, the Speakerlab 7s quickly stole my heart, and ruined every other speaker in the house for me. But, being close to fifty years old, they could use a little TLC, and perhaps a few upgrades while we're at it.
