Mapman is a long standing Ohm man like I once was. I personaly miss the model F. my favorite for years. Wish I had a good pair to hook-up to todays power amps etc.
I did however "try to upgrade" to the 4.3000 series on my stock 4XOs. Ohm offers a generous in home trial, and you may need every bit of it as I felt was happening. Lifeless, dull, dark, were just a few of my thoughts. Not sure what Ohm does at speaker check-out, but surely cannot be considered a burn in! ( John fix this!)
Mine didnt last the 120 day trial as a right tweeter went dead. I had my funds returned and bought elsewhere, but did take Evan up on a re-foaming of my original XOs ..... which are still sounding very nice.
What I did notice was how light in weight the new 4.3000 drivers were, seemingly half the weight of my original 4XOs ??? Maybe Mapman can fill us in on this. In any event still a nice speaker at a deicient price, just miss the old days of the wonderful model F.
