Altec Model 14's

Well I fired them up this morning and applied some ample power (driving them with my Marantz 2330 receiver) and so far so good. No audible or physical adverse effects so I'll keep an eye on them and see how they hold up. I was also noticing at the time of inspection that the interior sound baffling material has come detached from the wall of the speaker and is drooping down over the sound port which couldn't be good for sonics. Any recommendations on an alternate material to use inside instead of the fibreglass batting? Thanks for the help everyone.

Just use some small chunks of cardboard and re-staple the batting back to the cabinet. Fiberglass is what's best for the job.
