hi Tom, thank you so much for your response to my post about the mods i did to the coax of the 3.7's. To clarify it was Rob G who suggested this tweak if we found the top end to be a bit bright and he sent me four 3 ohm resistors to try along with some silver solder. My friend Bob is much more proficient and comfortable working with a soldering gun and tried different iterations on his 3.7's. After using the ones Rob had sent he also tried some from Parts Express (see above) in the same value. Thought the padding was too much and then tried using them in parallel (becoming 1.5 ohm) which he really liked. Same here. We both have extremely good gear with me using a Coda 16 amp, a BAT VK-80 preamp, and a digital front end by PS Audio.,
What i heard is along the lines of what you described. If I could put it in layman's language (i am not very technical), if i had tone controls in my system, it would be as if i turned the treble down one click and the bass up one click. It really made the system more enjoyable than it already was and it was great. The VP of BAT (Steve) visited my home last fall (before the mod) and was incredibly impressed with the sound i was getting out of a speaker from 2008. So impressed that he actually may get a pair of the 3.7's someday.
Others may not like the way the resistors changed the sound but for myself and my friend Bob, it was a move in the right direction. Thanks for all you do Tom. It is greatly appreciated.
