Are Rodgers as good as advertise??

Have a pair of Rodgers Ls3/5a, Picked them up at the thrift shop several years ago, they're a bit beat up, But the serial # are very low (SO2838A & SO2838B) Two Questions: 1)What is the term "White Belly"? 2)If i were to get a replacement cabinet Will it affect the value?

You can get brand new cabinets in any finish you want. Check out Ebay under Rogers speakers! They are not expensive!

BTW White Belly was the name of the drivers they used with PVA coating!

I wonder of what material those Moldovian cabinets are built? Voidless birch plywood(.47" thickness), heavily braced at all joints, was a favorite of the BBC. Some plywoods were disallowed, because of the colorations they caused.

Can't say as I do. I'm in Indianapolis, IN. Try calling Weinhart Design(310-472-8880), in L.A. They may know of someone in your area.
