how much it improves the sonic quality of drivers

Be interesting to compare your 206eSR in Atlanta ... be a good baseline as anyone can eN their own...

Were the treated FE206e better than the stock FE206eSR?

Dave,

Thanks for the correction on the eSR's price. The page I found on the web listed them for $318ea but, I guess some people will charge whatever they can get, huh? Actually I really was lucky getting the eSR drivers. I met a guy on another forum IIRC and he sent me a used but, looking and working like new pair of F200A and a NIB pair of FE206eSR drivers for me to try in my Madisons. Believe it or not all he asked was $450 for everything!When I wrote him back to inform him the F200A's didn't work well in the Madisons, he allowed me to sell the F200A's myself and use that $$$$ to pay for the eSR drivers which in the end were essentially free, but I digress...

To answer your question after Mike treated the FE206e it was vastly superior to the unbroken-in and untreated FE206eSR in the areas of being much more relaxed, liquid smooth, more detailed and increased inner resolution. However even unbroken-in and untreated it was immediately noticable that the eSR drivers had better treble extention, albeit quite shrill sounding at that time. The eSR drivers were also noticably more dynamic and they had tighter, deeper bass even when unbroken-in and untreated but, it wasn't as refined sounding as the treated FE206e drivers were.

I honestly believe that once a few more people try Mike's treatment and words starts spreading in the forums about how much the improvement is that you're getting for ONLY $150pr and how this happens while not losing any of the virtues we all love our fullrange drivers for. I believe Mike's treatment will be the one everyone wants and uses.

I wished I could get to Atlanta but being disabled it's out of the question. These days my back is getting so bad and I'm in so much constant pain, I only leave me home for light grocery shopping and go to the pain management clinic once a month to get a new scrip of pain meds and muscle relaxers. I'd love to compare Mike's treatment directly to the EnABL process ---{I know Mike would like to hear that as well}--- perhaps if you're ever in the Orlando area you could stop in for a listening session? Consider that an open invite. Just email me at thetubeguy1954(at)yahoo(dot)com a good bit before you'd like to visit and we'll set things up!
