Modding the Zu Omen MKII

After intense and red-eye forum nerding, I landed on coated solid copper wire, 2x1,5mm for each binding post. Warning, that is stiff and a bit hard to work with, but sounds great!

I unfortunately broke the posts removing them, installed a plate and new copper terminals.

I own the Zu Omen Def mkii’s. I did the Radian Tweeter upgrade. Big improvement over the stock tweeter. 

Please tell me me more about how the sound changed from stiffening and adding the noise x to the cabinet.   And can you tell me how you stiffened the cabinet and the process to apply the noise x?

I added a solid 1x1 inch oak dowel right underneath the main element towards the back wall. Made it a snug fit, had to force it in place, and glued it in place with epoxy glue. 

Prior to this, I used about 1L of noise-x sound paint (for each speaker) in 3-4 layers all over the insides.

aldso adding new bolts with nuts torqued from the back side of the front plate, allowing for much higher torque.

made the cabinet «talk» vanish, and a much more dynamic sound all over. Good improvement in imaging as well!!
