    Trying to make sense of all the "tests" i have seen on the internet

    A friend just picked up a pair of vintage Hartley 24" woofers in open back OEM 'boffles'. He's dialing them in on a modern AVR as LFE drivers. They won't make 20Hz but they will be in the running for bass quality. They're an example of a relatively light duty speaker that capitalizes on sheer...
