Frankly I would pass.

Looks like an EV cone. It won't sound close to a 421. I generally stay away from Frankenspeakers.

+1 that driver looks rough. I would pass as well.

to me it looks like he's trying to drum up business. if that were his intentions, then there are better ways to get your foot in the door

Well yes maybe it should be a new thread.We my family we had ISOPHON Orchester in the 60's and B&O 5000 these sound more mellow but didn't have the details and Acura of my 604 8G of 1974.Sometimes you must compromise top quality
