Not sure its worth upgrading a mono speaker. It's fairly old school technology
Don't know about Metallica but heard it in AC/DC and it's worth every penny! Was pretty surprised at how much difference it made. Pretty sure it was a Fidelity speaker but it might have been an active sub woofer thing.... what ever it was it ****in rocked
Is the fact that it's mono is really that big a deal? Given the size of a head on a pinball the speakers would be pretty close together so even with a Stereo system you wouldn't really be getting hi-fi! Kind of a midi system vs separates surely.

When my TAF speakers stopped working, I put these in:
Qtx Sound Hi Fi Woofer Pp Cone 16cm 6.5 85Wrms | eBay
Pioneer TS-G1311i 13-cm / 5.25-inch Dual Cone Car/Van Speakers Pair 130W | eBay
I admit I'm no hifi expert, but they sound good to me! And at a fraction of the the price. Much better than the original WPC speaker set, sorry can't speak for Stern though, I don't know what the original speakers are like.

The general consensus seems to be replacing the cab speaker is worth it but the backbox speakers generally aren't (does depend on the game though). I recently swapped out the cab speaker in my SM for one from a car audio place (recommended in another post on here) and it's a nice improvement, only cost 20 quid

Perhaps not with the speakers, Woz through headphones is pretty cool in stereo though
You can of course source components yourself and make your own speak upgrade package if price and international postage issues are something that concerns you.
I did my own speaker kit on my Indiana Jones and I believe that it sounds good enough compared to the likes of a pinball pro package, that it was well worth the 4x saving in price.
I think the kits are more suited to people who want to be able to install them with minimal fuss (someone else has done the groundwork on sourcing the components and making the adapters) for the frugal, give it a go yourself
Thats something I would like to see.Think I would rather chew glass
would be less painfull than the frickin WOZ audion with headphones on!
I can see you now Chris, Rockin to "We're off to see the Wizard" in stereo.
Seen Metallica live a few times. Flew to Vegas to see AC/DC. I appreciate good music. I wouldn't choose to rock out to WOZ but the sound quality is easily the best of any machine ever released. That's a fact, regardless of your taste in music.

Agree.
Would be good if JJP did a rock music pin. Guessing Hobbit will be good though.
