Hi John , If you check the down weight, I bet a dollar to a donut it's in the low 40"s. Stick some lead back there, it will improve the response a whole bunch. The 243HP has a graduated weight off. And weighs off at about 50gms bass. The only Baldwin vertical to have key leads in the relatively recent years. Regards Roger PS I have no problems with the design of most of the products, QC Issues yes. And the way the current owners do business also yes. I think Guy Nicols sized it up well.
