MBVR -- Moose Big Vent Reflex (after Scott Lindgren aka Scottmoose)

Big Vent Reflex has been around since the Jensen Ultraflex. Scott came up with a unique expression of the concept.

Well, i'd have to say just what Dave said: A lot more than you expect.
Since the EL70 appears to have a natural roll of below 100hz or something you can even play rock at very loud volumes with them and theres no problem with excursion or such. But there's not very much bass in the Mar-Kel cabinet. Mine aren't finished yet though, with dampening and such.

Yeah, maybe some more run-in time and proper dampening and sealing the top piece will do...

Our Audi A6 S-line (it was a 2007 i think) looked pretty much the same. The roof was pushed back almost a meter. The car wasen't worth repairing, estimated costs was above 400.000 swedish crones (which is bloody much money!).
How did ur uncle do then?

[Scottmoose]

From the look of it with a major headache at the very least. I hope the moose didn't suffer too much either. Noble creatures.

Noble yes, but scary ! I had a bull moose swim across a lake that I was camping by (Algonquin Park, about half the size of Wales) and walk through our campsite in the middle of the night. These creatures are HUGE.

So why do you call yourself Scott 'Moose' ?

You have to meet one in real life to realise how huge they are.
And indeed, they are noble animals with some sort of "aura" around them i think.

Uncle is really lucky, if the moose had been inches over he could have been killed, he got away with a HUGE shiner, the moose died.
