   Those regulars who actually know of Dick will find that comment as amusing   
   as I do I'm sure :-)   
   As Dick correctly states, the connector is the least of your worries,   
   although his use of the term "impossible" is obviously not true. Since these   
   speakers are likely to be total crap, simply replacing any drive unit with   
   anything that fits, and leaving all the unique features alone, will probably   
   not degrade their performance at all, and should be easy enough for anyone   
   who can use a screwdriver and soldering iron. And the use of a common DB9   
   connector will be of NO concern for anyone who can!
