Well, I've got them in place. One needs a bit of brushing and repaint, but that's all external looks stuff - the sound is what I was interested.
Put on a Sinatra remaster - "One for my baby ..."
very nice improvement in detail, with just a hint of harshness at the top ... sibilance
Then we tried Aja - stepped through various tracks hearing nuances in the piano and guitar we hadn't heard. Again, just a hint of harshness in the horns ...
As a last touch, we put on Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La - Boom, Like that ... wow - modern, well done recording .. just stunning.
Got a busy weekend and won't have much listening time - but I can't wait to try out Bill Evans, Lyle Lovette and a ton of other things ...
Haven't opened the drivers so I don't know 'phrams are in there ... but its def a step up from the 2425s that were driving these horns, and they have to be clearer with that extra adapter/reducer out of the way ...
Oh, that's not scratches on the horns or cabinets
- I just didn't oil everything up for the pictures!
