Anyway to improve the sound of Tannoy Saturn s6?


I just bought a pair of Tannoy Saturn s6's brand new sealed boxes. They reach fairly low and are quite smooth, but...they sound like someone has draped a blanket over them! The mids sound muffled (not sharp) and somewhat distant while the highs are subdued and appear to roll off quickly. I have run them for about 100 hours and they have improved somewhat. Does anyone have experience with the Tannoy Saturn line? Any suggestions? Best power source?

@hifi_nutsĀ , that's interesting. Makes sense but has anyone verified this?

I once soldered a pair of 1970s speaker connections for a friend and we both were surprised at how much fuller the sound became afterwards. I should mention that the original drive unit tags were rather dull and tarnished, but then they were around 30 years old at the time. Also beware the tweeter connections can easily melt, so care is needed if you wish to experiment.

For new speakers I'm not sure whether solder beats tags but I'm guessing that solder will last better than tags. What do others think?
