   yet to find recone kits    
   so I can do it myself.  For some reason this topic is "taboo" and no one has   
   been able to give me any suggestions....the reason why I joined this group;   
   there seems to be a wealth of knowledge here.  I've been told to stay with the   
   factory speakers and    
   that others won't work...I have a hard time believing this.

   the following based on the serial numbers; (   
   tweeter: 488811-5), (midrange: 488814-5), (woofer: 488810-4)?  Currently the   
   speakers are connected to TB-103/TB-104 on the amplifier which I think are low   
   impedance.  3) If anyone knows where I can buy a reconing kit, I'd be willing   
   to give this a try.

   If you want exact replacement speakers the best you can do is to get them from   
   another LPC 480 or LPC 1. Jukeboxparts.com may have some.  If you want the   
   cost effective way out, get a pair of 12 inch woofers with a power handling   
   capacity of 50 Watts RMS    
   or higher , 8 ohm, and they should suffice.  The LPC series never had that   
   great of a sound to begin with.  Make sure you wire the bass speakers  " in   
   phase " with each other.
