Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7

Re: How Arthur Salvatore High-endaudio are you?

I have an MC cart, make all my cables as short as possible, like high efficiency in speakers and the idea of biamping.

Re: Doc Mod Drivers

Hello Doc,

I was wondering if the 12" doc mod drivers are still available ? Thought I had better check before buying some speakers which have 12" bass driver.

Many thanks, Stu

Re: which speakers for Doc mods ?

How about Celestion Ditton 15. Found some local to me. Already use a doped driver but also have a stupid passive bass radiator.

Celestion Ditton 15

Other speakers i have found are Wharfedale Linton 2.
