Re: What is the "PROPER" torque/procedure for tightening the APOGEE ribbons?

Posted by Graz on October 24, 2006 at 05:28:29:

"retuning" is a bit of a myth really. Over time the foam damping breaks down on the edges of the bass ribbons, and this allows the structural resonances of the ribbon to be heard undamped. Most FR's are quite old though still excellent in the extreme. Good reading;-

Hope this helps.
