I never really found the mids recessed listening to them Kojaku, but perhaps they were more recessed than I perceived. My initial involvement in the original SR60 thread began shortly after I first got my HF2's. My SR60's at that point had been pretty much rendered persona non grada and Bila was generating all kinds of excitement about the untapped sonic potential of an SR60. So I started reading and being infected by Bila's enthusiasm or mania or whatever it was, as well as his graciousness. Bila offered to send me a pair of Cocobolo cups like he was buying me a beer. Things got a little weird after that, but he did send the cups, and this is way before he went off the grid. Anyway the 60's in the crude cups fashioned by Bila with a drill press or whatever he was using definitely improved the sound. That combined with all the enthusiasm being generated in the thread by the various posters and all the awesome mods motivated me to start reading about tonewoods. Mostly as they related to guitars and why luthiers and players chose certain woods. I decided after reading all sorts of stuff off and on for a few weeks that I wanted a two piece design, Mahogany like Grado uses for the driver housings, and African Blackwood. In my estimation it's the wood or combination of the woods that produce that bass.
That was sort of long winded I suppose, but while my 60's were on their little hiatus with Tyll, someone PM'ed me and asked me if I would sell him some cups. So I ended up selling the cups I had on my 225, and when the 60's got back I put the 225's in the cups my 60's are in. You piqued my curiosity though. I wonder how they would measure with that hole covered and the silver cable reinstalled?
That headband looks awesome Marvin, kudos!
