Those speakers look great, and I'll bet your setup sounds great too.

As for the 2226H drivers - you said they were used and asked if they looked like they had original cones - it's really impossible to say. They are dark grey when new, with black surrounds and black adhesive around the dust cap. But depending on how much sunlight exposure they've had, I've seen 'em get nearly white and sometimes sort of brown. They usually just get lighter and lighter grey.

The thing is, I've also seen non-OEM cones that looked nearly original. Some are decent and some are terrible. You just can't know without measuring them. The good news is that even if the cone isn't original, you can always have them re-done with OEM parts and expect them to be 100% good as new.

I'm crossing my fingers for you that measurements prove them to be OEM cones. The place to watch is 500-1000Hz. An OEM cone will measure the same as what you see posted on the website.
