The original foam grills are in great shape especially as most from this era are totally cashed; the crossovers were fitted with new capacitors; woofers have been refoamed for longevity; and the anti diffraction damping material passes with just the regular signs of wear. Just a great classic NE speaker system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese speakers play clean, detailed, and robust.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDemos are possible at our showroom in Andover, MA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCizek Model I: $449.00 plus sales tax and shipping when applicable \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e* ADS stands are NOT for sale\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$399 (plus applicable sales tax) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt Hill Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43343301443651,"sku":null,"price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2197\/6387\/files\/PhotoJun052026_115850AM.jpg?v=1780676150","url":"https:\/\/holthill.com\/products\/cizek-mode-i-golden-age-of-new-england-speaker-companies","provider":"Holt Hill Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
