In my list of possible future projects, an upgraded L200 is on the short list.

I'll either use a pair of 1501AL woofers that I already have or get a pair of 2216NDs.

I would start with 4 ohms as was previously suggested, but I would try both taps. If either one sounds better to you, then that’s is the tap time use. You...

Great to hear from you and to get your perspective. How great is it to have these choices?!

Yes, thank you for the update... always interesting to follow people's journeys and watch the evolution.
