trim off some whizzer of 206e ?

[norman bates]

I trimmed the whizzer of the pioneer b20 a while back.

After trimming 1/3-1/4 of the whizzer off (and having cotton between whizzer and cones), the highs were reduced a little, and their cupped sound was lessened also. Then I removed all the whizzer and was rewarded with zero highs (and zero cupped sound also, lol).

I thought I'd make the suggestion to someone who is this close to throwing the 206e out.....................

I'm sure the socket phase plug helps.......................
That's a nice echo chamber in there otherwise.

But that's a nasty climb in the high end that may be lessened by trimming a little of the whizzer off. Some of the rise is due to the qts of .2 also (usually responsible for some climb).

It's the motor that causes the rising response, not the whizzer. If you can't handle the brightness of the 206, then go to the 207. Otherwise, you need to be prepared to handle the rinsing response by strong horn loading or proper EQ.
