[R-390] Another satisified Ebayer?

[Dan Merz]

Yes,  I suspected maybe this was meant to be an improvement on an original
speaker but still not sure just what the claims are for the speaker or what
the originals looked like.  Evidently the originals had no box???  I also
suspect this replica uses not what any of us would recognize as ordinary
cardboard but a higher quality composite board material of some sort. On the
performance side,  I have several speakers mounted in 12x12x8 inch USPS
priority mail cardboard boxes for two of my boatanchors.  They sound as good
as any other speaker I have,  probably because I used a 6"  high efficiency
simple speaker and my hearing at high frequencies ain't so good anyway.
These were expedient measures that seemed temporary at the time but hang
around somehow.  I'm convinced there's a little better cardboard out there
that would do a better job cosmetically if I went to the trouble to find it.
But then that would turn into a major project compared to the 20 minutes it
took to make what I have.  But it could be a fun project and an alternative
to using thin wood which was the other material I considered.  Maybe further
postings will reveal what Mish's cardboard really is.  I'd be interested.
best regards,  Dan.

Hey guys I have a couple of the speaker assemblys, the originals, and none
have sound chambers, cardboard or otherwise. Seems to me Rick was trying to
improve on the Military and give the buyer a better sound. Am I missing
something here? Rick has always been great to deal with and as far as I am
concerned an asset to the 390A legacy. Just my thoughts. Pete
