Lab Series 3 refoamed

The Lab Series 3 12 inch woofers were re foamed and the Philips mid range domes pushed back out and I have been enjoying these beasts. The 12 inch woofers can really pump out the bass. The Philips mids and tweeters sound just as good as their Braun competitors.


The speakers sound great but they would benifit from being elevated just a bit more off the floor. A newer crossover would control the mid and tweeters better. Right now I am enjoyin them.

The cabinets are the next item to tackle, I will sand them with 220 grit paper then steal wool them and add a layer or two of MinWax.

The terminal cup should be replaced from a spring clip to a binding post. If I was going to go that far it might even be worth upgrading the crossover and internal speaker wire.

If anyone knows anything about these speakers please comment. Also if any tips on getting the wrinkles out of the mid domes would be greatly appreciated. I tried a steamer already.
