I'm sure the badges provide a secondary baffle affect and that is where you guys are hearing the extended bass response. In super high end speakers like these with hand made (we whipped that up in a blender) cone material very little changes can cause drastic differences in performance. Don't get me started on how the density of the burlap weave manipulates the HF response. 14 grills later I have it tuned where I want it.

They were posted on the Seattle Craig's List yesterday, and the seller was kind enough to hold them for me until this morning. After a recap, I'll give the stack of 17s a listen, to see how I like them stacked. They are in better shape than my first pair, which I picked up for $10 at Goodwill. Now I'm on the lookout for that KLH LP to fully appreciate the sounds of these speakers...
