Bill, I had an issue like you described with your right speaker that I FINALLY traced to a "cold" solder joint in an RCA plug, on the amp end of the right pre-to-amp IC. To my ears, the old paper drivers are very, very sensitive to their "surroundings", with audible differences from small variations of any imaginable sort. Even with a 24 dB slope you are asking "LF" from a driver that appears to be "out of gas" at 92 dB, as you are using it Romy is coming from drivers that still have 20 dB headroom at 92 dB. It's hard to compensate for a lack of driver headroom, which means in this case, one would have to "listen around it", preferably by being absorbed by other aspects of the Music.
Best regards,
Paul S
