Only yesterday I started to get some interesting results after tuning the UK crossovers. But still not near to the sound I'm getting from my electrostatic headphone setup. I assume my Dannoy setup is quite compromised: one of the original crossovers is probably dry and one speaker had little bass, B2's input crap is still not bypassed and it produces some distortion, in lieu of a better solution I'm using the C1 pre. I want to push it to a logical end: bypass B2 input commutators, make my own pre a la Anthony with 801A, treat Reds' surrounds with the UK gentleman's solution to soften them. We will see what happens then.

I finally bypassed the B2 input board, keeping the original input impedance (soldered 1.5k/25k resistors at the inpout). This didn't change the sound much so far and my main problem persisted - one amp channel is -15dB down at bass (at 60Hz). This is for sure the amp not the speakers. I thought it was the input crap but it is sth more serious. Any B2 specialists?
