Re: Goodmans Magnum K Refurb and Modification (part 2)

Just a up-date on my Doc modified speakers, it's been a while since I reported last. I stopped at 2 layers of dope on mid/bass drivers (appox 10 mths ago) and I've been enjoying them since,I feel that they actually "mature" (sound better) with age. There are "pro's" and "con...

Re: Goodmans Magnum K Refurb and Modification (part 2)

OK,I'll try to chill out a bit ( I was just concerned I'll lose what I've achieved ) and experiment with additional layers of doping/plasticoat and report back.

What I'm also amazed at,is how good a 50 yr old amplifier can sound by improving the speakers.

Mid driver and Bass driver has had one coat of Bison-kit Doc.Are you recommending coating up the Bass driver with plasticoat first then do the mid.

Thanks

Re: Goodmans Magnum K Refurb and Modification (part 2)

Hi istari, No progress, in the sense I haven't fitted the resistors yet (been to busy), and Just as well really,because I've had to reevaluate due to not sealing the speakers adequately in the beginning .In doing so, the sound is much more even (treble and Mid range balance is better) the "new&...
