Might try looking at page 187 and a bit before and a bit after.

James - about your perceived distortion. I'm guessing that a recording that is good enough to consider as a reference does not have the type of distortion you are reporting. If it emanates from one channel, swap channels. If it swaps, it's somewhere upstream. Of course I'm guessing, but it sounds like a loose tweeter voice coil. Do you know Rob at Coherent Service? He can help troubleshoot as well as rebuild the driver.

Thank You for the follow up. We have similar weather this time of year.
I have read about The Bassface Swing Trio. I will check out "Plays Gershwin".
Regarding the Tweeter distortion, if you are experiencing the same aural findings on piano recordings, it could be a loose voice coil. I agree with Tom's thoughts.  Consult Rob Gillum at Coherent Service (CSS) in Lexington Kentucky, U.S.A. for a possible re-build of tweeter.
Keep me posted on this situation.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for chiming in to address James' tweeter query.
As we kick off Summer, in a few days, I hope that you are well in your neck of the woods.

Happy Listening!

All - 

There's a pair of 2 2s not far from me - are they worth taking a chance on?  Just looking to play/experiment.  (I know they're OLD!)  Amp is a pair of Exposure 3010S2 monoblocks.  

Thanks in advance!
