Hello, signed up mainly to reply to this thread! I recently bought a pair of these on fleabay and was immediately impressed by them, they have a 'different' sound quite unlike all the other speakers i've tried- and i like that about them.. but at the same time i can see their weak points. So far the only mods i've done are fitting some scanspeak 2010 tweeters, lining the cabinets with damping, and re-arranging the stuffing as per mikesnowdon's example. Happy so far... but this is what i've got planned by the end of the year:
1/ Build new replica cabinets out of 12mm birch ply- built to scale approx 20% bigger
2/ Either fit new, bigger mid/bass drivers OR: Make it a 3 way design
3/ Re-do the crossover
Any problems/issues/advantages with making this a 3 way design?? Any problems with increasing the size of the cabinet? By my calculations the new box will have an approx 50litre capacity... what does this mean in terms of driver selection? cheers guys
