Hi all-
  Okay, I have to admit it.  My speakers are the Radio Shack Mach 2 speakers (Mach 1 Jr?).  Big, uneven sound.  Soon, I am going to tweak them with better tweeters for a more open sound.  I wish I had the Mach 1's.  I do give the Shack credit for using walnut veneers on their speakers for as long as they did.

Oh Mach 1's - When those 15' woofs stop woofing you can use them for salad bowls. They were actually quite good value for the money.
