Well, I guess I'm sort of glad.. I did try to get an upgraded unit to audition, but alas, I failed miserably in my quest. Which was a pity, 'cause I could get factory fresh units from a distributor for $1500.00+. But I hate throwing caution to the wind. The thing of it is, I don't miss the midrange I was getting from the SE100s, in fact if memory serves me right, the Belles with my tweaks is better. If the midrange has not improved with the upgraded model, then, go figure. I wasn't able to elicit the same response from the SE100s from my tweaks. To my experience SEs are like that, how much more can you do? They're pure class A, SE, "balls to the walls!" Of course, you could improve the power supply.Anyways, us tweaks sing to a different tune. I kind of, subscribe to the notion the its the journey that counts. The path that we take to achieve our goals, the priceless moments of new discoveries, and finally to share these with kindred spirits.
Funny, you should say that you've got your own speaker design. I dabble into speaker building myself. I've also got a 2-way Dynaudio. It has an acoustical 4th order L-R, very flat impedance(quite easy to get with these speakers), Phase +23 to -12, step response low 1ms, usable to low 30s. Currently playing with diffration using CEPSTRUM as a tool. Sounds OK, how's yours doing? Planning to work on arrays later maybe Manger, maybe E.J. Jordans.
