Good to see you. Hope you are well and like beetle, having fun in your Hot Rod garage/studio, with your XO projects.  Keep up the outstanding work!

Happy Listening!

A pre and post measurement with Rew is not that much work and could give something tangible to support the subjective improvement or lack of deterioration. As I gain experience and understanding of this powerful tool, I'm less reluctant to pair my observations with measurements.

FWIW, I measured freq response of a tone sweep pre and post on axis and from the listening position. Now, the microphone was simply my iPad but both channels had the same handicap. All good. Well, there was a detour but not worth typing out the story :)

Tom has more sophisticated tools but his upgrade is not as far along as mine.

what is Rew?

Following up on one of my earlier posts, the CS7.2 woofers that seemed hopelessly damaged have been repaired by Coherent Source Services (Rob Gillum).  He had to completely rebuild them (shipping damage prior to me purchasing them), but they are now back, installed, and playing music.  I don't know how much burn in time they might need, but the speakers already sound fantastic (first I've heard them since purchasing them).  Rob was extremely helpful throughout this process, and I unconditionally recommend his services.
