Fixed up my 202's yesterday. Previous owner must have tossed half the dampening stuffing and rewired one speaker out of phase. I redid crossover caps and used some nive 0.047 bypass caps I picked up from Russia on eBay to new Dayton 10 uFd. Added 5lbs (2.5 each) of Acousta Fill, corrected wiring, resealed everything and now they sound great!

I'm liking them in diagonal forward firing position driven by my Fisher console tube amp rrunning 7591's at ~ 30 WPC.

Oh - I also replaced those crappy binding posts:

These EPI inverted tweeters appear to have "surrounds". I was wondering if they would benefit from "treatment" to rejuvinate the materials if it is rubber like. Perhaps Armorall or some such.

Anybody know for sure?

Just tried my recapped/refurbished Eico HF-81 with the 202's. Wow! Best I've heard the EPI's. The Eico is only 14 WPC so I wasn't expecting much. Actually thought the EPI dual AS woofers would be a little much for the Eico to drive. But it does so superbly.

Excellent bass and great midrange/hi's. Not as awesome on great recordings as my Forte's with the Eico but everything sounds excellent versus the Forte's lean towards better recordings.

Here are some shots of the Eico
