Wonderful restoration. There are cross over upgrades available for this model. The gloss finish you've worked up is fantastic.

Can you describe in details what went on here?

Great speakers

HPM-100 are iconic speakers that some folks really love. I tried but could never get into their sound which to me was brash and unrefined that left me with listener fatigue after listening sessions. They do some things well like good definition and snap, solid bass, wide in range, good dispersion which makes them good party speakers but they have poor imaging, sound staging with no front to back depth. I always preferred the classic British designs.

The xo is bad in them. With a new cross-over and some light internal bracing and new damping materials, they will be a very good-sounding. The drivers are very high quality.
