Dave is a good one but it's already been used. I like Geoff as well - after my late father. How about Cyril or Cecil ?

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
I also found some bass heavy music was ‘difficult’ with the bipolar - what helped mine was ‘blocking’ the rear magnet port on the doc mod drivers- It's because there is the full 6dB baffle step compensation with bipolar.

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
Typical room gain (other room gains are available :grin: ). Starts at approx 300 Hz. At 50 Hz it is 4dB on the graph. Not sure why I am posting this other than I found the graph and wanted to plonk it somewhere. Might be helpful if one is designing a pair of speakers for a typical room and ears (you...

Latest crazy experiment. Put both cabs right next to each other :shock: https://i.imgur.com/1kbNmW2.jpg You would be forgiven for thinking this is a stupid idea.
