Lin, I don't believe you have read all of Danny's posts regarding this modification. My opinion, of value to you for the amount paid for it, is still valid. This may not be rocket science, but it is science, and you can't refute the measurements. This isn't a different speaker design, or even a bad design. It is an abomination. Like many, I paid a lot of money for a product that was grossly misrepresented. I am still trying to hold my anger in check.
Sound is only somewhat objective. The engineer has parameters that he wants to record, but in the end if it sounds like crap it probably is. It would take about 5 seconds, maybe less, to tell the difference here.
I know it is hard for some people to accept the fact that sometimes things can go awfully wrong. In this case, it is kind of irrefutable. I intend no ill will here, just another audiophile trying to help out my friends on this forum.
