Sounds like you found a keeper wife and set of speakers. Too funny. Keep everyone posted on your results, and welcome to the club.

Thank you and will do! I spent all of last weekend watching online videos of how to orient inductors, how to solder caps and wiring and inductors, how to layout a networks, etc. I've had these speakers since 2012 and while I think they sound pretty good, have always wondered why they are so finicky on placement (both in the vertical and horizontal planes) and haven't revealed what I've heard in other speakers. That is, playing the same track, some frequencies seemed muffled compared to other "high end" speakers.
GR Research did their review of the speakers (again, Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grands) about a year ago and some stuff clicked. What I *thought* I was hearing turned out to be true. I was getting ready to unload over the coming holidays when Danny posted his 2nd video with the fix. BOOM, headed over the GR Research website and hit "buy now" instantly.
I'll post up pics of what I find when I open up the speakers and how I proposed to layout the network. I'm pretty handy in the automotive realm (have wired racecars, for example) but audio DIY is brandy new to me. My hope is that whatever I learn can be shared and benefit others who might be going down the same path.
All the best,
