Used to be a Silver and blue hear, but I didn't get to use it enought to remember what it sounded like. I don't mind the silver ones, but the black seem to sound a bit firmer in the low mid.
I'm trying to figure out how old these two UREI 1176 silver faces are .. am I to understand that they were the last 1176's (they don't have a red knob or blue strip). I recently had one re-capped and plan to have the other done soon. Which 'era' were they sold thru, is my question. 80's ? 90's ? Anyone know?
