Liberated my folks’ Celestion Ditton 44s from their garage, last used in 1997 when I blew them 
Managed to source new driver, mid-range and tweeter that were blown across the two, had proper terminals put on back so I could connect my NAC-A5, the wood got some TLC, connected them up … and they sound AMAZING. 25 years of speaker tinkering and basically I’ve been hankering for the big, warm effortless sound I recall from childhood all this time.
Next will be recapping and rewiring - not 100% necessary as the caps all tested fine - and for now I am extremely happy
