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?

@ Rodman99999, I'm in Alpine, Ca (35 min east of San Diego) Do you know anyone in the area that does Veneer work?

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.

I can't imagine there isn't someone in San Diego who could do the work. If any of my relatives did woodworking I'd ask them. The telephone book and high-end audio salons should be able to help you.

Almost nothing in the world is as good as advertised.

That being said, the Rodgers are nice, better than many speakers built today, but hardly state of the art, even among speakers with very limited bass.
