I just joined on and I have to say that the people who comment should be more gentle in their great expertise. My Dad has several Audio Encyclopedias that he wrote an edited. I have attended several AES conventions with also attending as many paper-lectures as I could get. I have attended SynAudCon and my father was great friends with the founder of SynAudCon who also created the first Equalizer from Altec. I have had physics and advanced math in college and I worked for a sound company for almost 9 years installing and electronic repair. I have worked on 7-layer surface mount circuit boards for telecommunications for the leader in the financial industry after my audio career. I learned the resistor code when I was 10 years old. Stop being a know-it-all. There is always someone that knows so much than you and you can always learn instead of getting on top of your soap box.

Right away someone said that more Bass would happen when more magnet was attached to the existing magnet.
Poser!!!!!!

Try it before you comment. You don't seem credible now.

There are many speakers that have the additional magnet structure now. Look at Madison Sound and Parts express for the better models to have not bucking magnets but have additional magnet structures.

@Habanero Monk is that you?

The only reason I originally posted anything is that I thought maybe someone can receive the knowledge that I learned. You guys really need to be more receiving to posts rather than be critics.

Lets see a picture of your *add a magnet* for the MW6502. I understand the concept of BL. It is one of the Thiele Small Parameters that is very important to the performance of a driver. No doubt it is a not too much, not too little sort of deal. You have tweaked yours higher.
Pictures or it didn't happen

I've never heard a Vandersteen speaker that I liked. Isn't it weird how we all have different tastes and preferences?
You're not alone, FWIW.
All of them that I have heard have been too bright/forward for me.

How about you being less of an a$$...
We're vintage Altec & JBL here -- happily so, and by choice, after lots (and lots) of things in between.
I mean, you know, if we want to get into a urinating contest (which I don't).

To speak of the 604 & 904 in the same breath suggests a lack of familiarity with one or both.
Other than (broadly) similar design architecture, they're designed for totally different applications -- which a look at current going prices will readily confirm.
That said, I'm all set here. Ciao, @davidballou2022 -- drop some attitude, read some of this forum to get an idea of the integrated empirical experience here, remember it's a Polk forum, and stay and enjoy the company -- or not.
I've got a videoconference; gotta go.
EDIT: PS, @davidballou2022 if you're not already there, you might want to check out www.audiosciencereview.com You might enjoy it more.
