I think that the discussion of extending response (especially LF) is the WRONG direction. We know that the Macondo/Melquiades setup had more extension and integration than is even possible with Dunnoys. I am not sure why this is even getting so many posts.
If there is anything that the Dunnoy can possibly do better, it is TONE - most likely from the paper driver, not the horn or PR. A loudspeaker driver and a passive radiator must be closely matched to the LF resonance of the active unit if we want LF amplitude gains - something not the case here. If the passive is tuned too low (which is the case here), the box behaves more like an infinite baffle - no LF increase but relief of box pressure.
Other than having enough power, I doubt that the Yamaha amplifier is really integral to "getting the best" out of the Dunnoys.
At the end of the day however, I believe the solution is early luck OR A REPEAT OF THE YEARS OF INVESTMENT LIKE WITH MELQUIADES/MACONDO. I do not think that this bride is low maintenance - even with the early successes (that can not be repeated). I am not waiting for the joyful post that reveals a secret. The Tannoy is a "nice" driver in a limited band and will remain so.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
