acoustics in my life

Some advancement in my setup

About three weeks back, I had decided to get my dad's old speakers (Akai sw-1571) refurbished. My idea was to use these as my rears for my home theatre system. I had taken them to this "guy" (my uncle's friend) called Ali, hes got a shop on richie street. When I first got there I had second thoughts about leaving my speakers with him.I lost hope when I saw his shop. It was a messy 50 sqfoot shop with 2 tiny rooms. And the whole places was stacked up with speakers. On his counter there were some voice coils and huge magnets on which he was currently working. He saw my speakers and told me that it would take about 4 days to get it fixed. There was a lot of work to be done. So after four days I went back there and he was busy working on a JBl studio monitor. I was so preoccupied with the rest of the stuff lying in his shop, i completely forgot about my speakers. When I began to realise how busy he was and the contacts he had, I was amazed. From A.R rehman's Studios to HFO,Pasha, dublin. He was the man behind speaker maintenance. He asked me to come back after a week for my speakers. I started going there more often, not for my speakers obviously. I even got to see wires and RC cables that cost upto 600 bucks a metre!! Finally after 3 weeks of loafing about in his shop,he got so fed up that he delivered my speakers. The cost?? just 600 bucks! Will try to post a snap of his shop soon.
