The bearings should not be to small because that will limit air space as well as limit motion. 
Motion is needed to dissapate resonant energy in the cable jacket or maybe in the wooden box you describe...there is such a thing as to much mass. We need to find a balance between mass damping and resonance control. Sand sucks and lead sucks the life and air away no matter where they are used. My material choices start with a table listing velocity of shear. Being a member of the Starsound panel we select brass and have those parts machined to our geometric designs snd applications. Geometry can be used to gather, steer and direct resonant energy out of a speaker and component. The larger and heavier the component is..the greater the energy level stored.

Adcom 5800 replaced by the unlabeled dr-25

@thoft Are you running one stereo unit or two mono units?
What do you mean by “unlabeled’?

It’s a dr-25 by interior design. But with a model 25 faceplate. And I’m running one unit in stereo

Hi Thiel mates
I was wondering if beetlemania or any others could tell me which xo boards I have and what would be the best to updated on them. They are green circuit boards. They have black MPT capacitors, white ceramic about 3" long, I guess resistors, and bare white plastic wire tied coils. On the board on the floor in addition to the black caps and ceramic things and coils there are 2 green caps in parallel with 100mfd 100v + - 5% on them. I will try to get it on my system page. Might take me a day to do that. Thanks for any help.
