Unsound - please explain, I don't understand the term: "set back to".T

@tomthiel, the amps would be sans input, output only. The pre would take the full responsibility.

That guy is a master.

This seemed germane to recent discussion here:

I widened the gap to more like 6” until close to the amp. I will listen critically again before switching back to the “standard” configuration.

The SE version has an oversized backplate, so I didn’t have to drill the veneer and MDF. But I probably would have if I had the regular 2.4. Then again, much of what I did was probably not for the faint of heart. There was a time or two when I worried I was in over my head. All smiles now! In most ways, my modded 2.4s sound as or nearly as good as the be$t I’ve heard.

I do have a few of the myrtle blocks but most of my blocks are random pieces. Charles Hansen used to advise people who balked at the myrtle price to pick up a Jenga set at a garage sale. Pretty much all of my gear is on some kind of block, even my speakers which is supposed to be a no-no. But that’s a compromise to protect the hand woven rug I inherited from my parents.
