BAF to Wool - much ugraded damping

The science of damping is key to the low frequency performance of a loudspeaker. Too much and the sound loses a lot of life. Too little and the radiation from the back of the speaker, interferes with and then affects the sound in a negative way. The optimum is a combination of driver, cabinet volume and material density. There is no magic, but listening is the only sure fire way of getting it right.

In my case, I wanted a fast, tight and deep sound and the aluminium cones of the L22's helped supress the internal sounds being heard through the driver..

We ended up with a good helping of long-haired wool (the most expensive out there) and replaced a lot of the standard fitment bonded acetate fibre (BAF).

When combined with all the other mods, this is the icing on the cake.

Did I stop there ?  No. A few more things were done to the Missions to give them the best possible chance of sounding even better and they are detailed here
