RE: 1.7 frame damping

Regarding this particular subject, the most learned individual I found was a gentleman we called "Peter Gunn" or John Krucezek. He completed my Magnapan 1.6 speakers and they are as solid as rocks. Being well pass 70 years old, I could not imagine trying to lift speakers weighing more than 200LBS as some of these ideas may suggest. I've got to say, my speakers still play with a beauty I can't explain. Each time I upgrade my cables, TT cartridge, fuses for my power/preamp, etc, my Maggie 1.6's sound better. Peter Gunn was a master at figuring out how to keep the Maggies from making strange noises even at a loud playing level. He was also a master at figuring out how wood (various types) could help the Magnapan speakers, no matter which model sound wonderful. The guy did an awesome job on my speakers and I plan to get them back to him for upgrading. He completed them before I left Baltimore back in 2012 and moved here to Georgia. If anyone is interested, I will try to figure out how to post photos of my Maggies. Thanks for listening.
