As I commented on this forum a year ago, I was impressed by the stock 645 when I heard it with very similar (I think exactly similar) equipment at an owner's house in San Mateo.The Newform ribbon has an airy, spacious quality I did not expect. From 1100Hz up the speaker is just dandy.
I noticed the crossover and bass discontinuities you did. OK, maybe John Meyer didn't spend enough money on woofers or cabinets. Since this is a hobby and many folk can DIY, the mods make sense to me.
I should note the listening room for this system was quite large and completely undamped, including a 40' long glass wall to the right side
(no drapes or absorbent furniture/carpets) which contributed to the lively sound.I'll say it again, John is to be congratulated for a daring and successful design.
