I would much rather buy me a older Tesoro than a new one. I 'm addicted to the older style round hole speaker look. I don't like the newer louver style speaker look. I will buyer a older Tesoro model just for that reason than a newer one of the same model. 2nd I think the older models work better than some of the new technology Tesoros . 3rd give me a 7 inch coil over the 8 inch or even a 5 inch coil any day on a Tesoro. Hmmm why do I like the older stuff ? is it because I'm old too ? and have a few nuts loose !
