    What is it?

    Look at the script on the unit. SLP-05, Pure Balanced, Vacuum tube pre-amp. The source switching also gives it away. The front script say Cary Audio.

    You really didn't know what it was, or were you being cheeky :p

    I sold the 7B's a little while back. I never hooked them up. Just have SDA's and Monitor 10's now. But I would liked to have tried this mod but never thought about it really.

    Here at the CCP, it's a right of passage, a badge of honor to have gone through the fire, tempered yet unscathed. Well done my friend. :D

    Russ I believe the side firing woofers are suppose to be on the inside firing towards each other with that particular model.(?)

    The one thing I have found with the side firing woofer speakers is that it is completely dependent upon the room itself as to what actually sounds better. FWIW. YMMV.

    @recoveryone - I have this sneaking suspicion that you like bass....😉😀

    That makes since. They sounded great firing at each other in my room. Just a suggestion.

    Yes, he does :) He can buy from a place like Crutchfield, and if he doesn't hear a difference, he can return them.

    Sure, he could also try these if he wanted to: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RX7f--primacoustic-rx7-monitor-isolation-pad-10.5-inch-by-13-inch-flat

    But he doesn't need either.

    Little overkill, but I like it. JUST running the JBL's only. That's a 65" TV btw.
