Thanks Earl. I wanted to talk to Bill again simply because when I spoke with him just prior to GPA shipping the speaker back to me, he indicated that they used 16 ohm parts for the re-cone and new 'phram. I have been looking at some of these time-aligned crossover designs for the 604, so I'll just need to adjust for 8 ohm voice coils.

I love the sound.westhost.com site. So much great information. [edit: westhost was taken down in 2016. I linked the internet archive copy here]
Totally agree, and while I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of DATs, I will perform a validation/calibration on one of my drivers to be sure.
