subjectively in the "low" damp position



the sansui sounds, well, more "tube-like" is what comes to mind regarding the slight loss of low bass weight. Like a subsonic or "rumble" filter is engaged. Sound's good either way, just "different" enough to notice when doing an a-b comparison and listening closely.
Shaving that midrange rise will be a larger benefit from the coil than any slight decrease in Qes is how this looks to me. Eminence does "product improvements". Wayne's design "evolves". That's how the world works.
