I’ll tell you why. It’s EASY to take apart someone else’s work. Danny has been doing that since he started, repairing other peoples speakers, years ago. He was a VERY harsh critic, of the late Brian C. of VMPS.
They use to go at it, because the fix, was usually, someone else put the speaker kit together incorrectly, or it was the cheapest kit VMPS sold and a few mods, tightened them up..
I saw a 35 lb speaker, come out weighing 60 plus lbs.. AND a big article on how it was fixed... I laughed about the BIG pat on the back about a speaker that was one of Brian’s earliest kits, and upgrades that had not been installed. The 3.00 dollar fix turned out to weigh in at close to double the weight. When a piece of light or expanding foam was the answer, and a different cap, installed in the XO. Late 80s and 90s
I knew Brian C. very well. He was a really good guy. I personally like his speakers above ALL others. STILL do.
I’ve had text exchanges with Danny. He is an easy going guy for sure.
The crew he works with are, over the top (Jay) cabinet guy. I’ve owned the 123 LS6 and own his servo bass units, currently.
Now ask me about the TEC in the plate amps he uses for the servo system, and I’ll tell you another clever tale, about the guy that modifies them. How the servo REALLY works.. How good are your programming skills, because that is what it boils down to... Mine.. ok at best or use to be, C, C++, Basic, Visual Basic, heck even a little assemble code. a master batch file writer. :-)
I have NEVER done a job, that I didn’t think a little change might not hurt.
When folks say "it went perfect", I always say "wish that would happen to me". I’m my own harshest critic.
I ALWAYS take pause with the HAUGHTY.
Regards to all
