Get new pots or bypass them and report back.

I smell a TV show. Or do they already have "Pimp My Speakers"? Those look great (flipping issues/non-issues aside), and I'm not a big fan of the flashier speakers (like Klipsch's home-theater ones). How well does that stand sit on the floor? Would that work with a carpet (and where did you get them?)? Nice picture, by the way. Real-world lighting.

my L60t's are in need of new something. now i know what it is unfortunately , my L112s have no grilles

I think AK member GordonW prefers series I. I'm 99% sure of it. I like both. No real favorite. Just to throw a monkey wrench into the mix, there's also the A40V, a video shielded version. I own a pair of those as well. The later HD5 is the next generation of the A40. I know of a restaurant thY still runs numerous pair in their dining room with original foams.

"Hollow???"

That bump is not a trademark of acoustic suspension speakers, but of that particular speaker. It's a result of a Qt greater than .707 that is, in turn, a result of a smaller than optimum box. (optimum in this case meaning maximally flat) It's easy to make a sealed box speaker without that. You just have to make it bigger.

Nope -- I looked at that already (thought thanks for it anyway). These are wider than high (about a yard high and 4 feet wide) and have only a single strut across the grill, and have solid sides (though with the same bevel in the rear).

If the OP is willing to stretch a little IMO horns are the way to go with a tube amp. In my case, because I have used the even smaller ads L-420s with a PPEL84 amp and thought that they sounded dandy. EDIT: and the configuration of the L-520 is pretty darn close to the requested configuration...
