Bryan Chatterton
Proac Mid/Woofer replacement

I thought i was going to have difficulty finding these units as my speakers are 34 years old. But thankfully i found Willys Hifi online and they new exactly what i needed without even looking it up and they had them in stock. Packaging and delivery were excellent. I can't recommend Willys HIfi highly enough. Thank you

Thanks for the review Bryan!
