In any case, you bought an expensive pair of Fostex (F120A) drivers, never listened to them, had them modified with, what could be considered a controversial technique. You then put them in a simple box without a back, drove them a (bad sounding) SS amp and spent a day with them. And you hate them.
Well, I do not know if the disasters result that I got was due to the driver itself or do to the “controversial” treatment techniques, due to my amplification. In case of any other problems I might think about it but I have no idea how to deal with this super-compression. It is not even compression but some kind of strange sucking out of any contrasts from sound. I have no idea why it does what it does and how to deal with it.

In any case, I can't agree with your assessment (compared to my drivers in 10 liter ported enclosures), but I can't really defend any of it as I've no idea what your pair sounds like. I would at least swap to better amplifier before binning them. I've only driven mine with SET amps.
Well, it is a good point to try driving it with deferent amp but to use SET with 87dB sensitive drivers… I do not know. I will try but I have very low expectations.
