RE: Razor your mags

Hi Sailor,

These are my MagIIIa re-do no reversed panels, no goop and they sound great.

Well, I am glad you are happy, though you could be getting more out of those speakers. I guess I am not up on the 3s but those panels look reversed in the sense that you are listening to the pole pieces. Especially in that config, damping those vibrations is even more necessary because that is what you are hearing first.

Good sound AND looks are important to me.

Yeah me too though if you do the tweak right, it looks about the same from the listening chair. Those speakers do look nice.

In the time it takes to turn these around, flop sides, flop xover connections, I can not honestly say I heard any difference.

Yeah, I'll agree with that though I never really listened that much for the reasons you mention. I used to listen to the pole pieces as in your pict, but lately I have been listening to the mylar in the "Rooze" setup.

With what I feel is proper coupling to the floor I get very little vibrations of the frame when cranking up to about 100dbs on my rat shack meter

Do you mean the wood frame or the driver?? Both??

Even a little vibration can have an effect on resolution or lack there of...as that vibration has to be transferred to the mylar as the magnets vibrate.

The strips come right off and it is easy to try. Maybe I am just a different kind of person, but I wouldnt dismiss something without trying it, especially if it were easy to do and people had reported great results...

Cut to razor sounding violins
