My 'ultimate' hope with the U15's is to go completely active with dsp xovers, although I'm not entirely sure how long it may take me to get there. However, yes - I'm fully expecting to have to EQ the horn back to flat after adding the foam. It's not just a matter of adjusting the sensitivity, since the impact will also be frequency-dependent. If the impact is truly 10dB it may be a problem with my current amps, but I'm planning on building some Hypex UcD's, so maybe that'll just accelerate the process.I have temporarily simply added some Acousta-stuff to the woofer cabinet. It does indeed come 'empty' from the factory. I'm planning to try plugging the ports for a sealed alignment, but this will obviously require some significant eq and boost to work.
I'm very happy with the U15's as home speakers - they are at least as good as I was hoping for, and for the price of the rat-fur versions, they're an amazing bargain IMHO.
