Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

that is just a drain wire on the pathaudio resistor.  You don't even have to connect it if you don't care to.  I tied the two of them together and then soldered to woofer ground input.  They fit easily on the board

Yes, thanks Don. I was puzzling over this myself.

According to their site it is basically a shielded resistor.  I have no idea why that would be necessary, but anyway there is no hum of any sort, the speaker sounds great, I didn't change the values of any parts so the crossover functions as it always has, just sounds better.

I have now damped the tweeter, midhorn, and the three bass ports.  Very easy modification. 

The crossovers are next.  I have to sell something to fund the upgrade. I'd rather go in there once and do it the right way.  So, I'm going to need ~$900.  

Donsachs, do you have any opinion on adding damping to the inside of the cabinet?  It seems to be calling for it.  My concern would be that in lowering the resonance (a good thing) it might create a reflective surface for sounds to bounce around too much and change the voicing.
