  The toppers are resonant control devices that are put on top of the speaker.
   Hoping to receive some prototypes soon to evaluate.

Why wouldn't they work on a sealed speaker? What are you talking about?

I was talking to Rollo about this earlier. The Eichmanns are not the "Toppers" he was talking about. Lenehan makes their own unit called a Topper than that is what he was referring to as the sealed unit, not the Lenehan speaker.

Ahhhh, OK...
That's ironic... Same function with same name from same country, only different. Thanks for the clarification Tom and Charles

It just so happens that I have a box of those Eichmann Toppers and have never tried them on my speakers before. So I figured what the heck , grabbed my son and we went down to the mancave for a  trial. Well I don't understand how or why, but putting three of these things across the top of the speakers made an instantly noticeable difference in the sound. Boggles my mind - the speakers weigh 175 lbs each but putting these three two ounce devices in top of then can change the sound.  :shock:
Definitely smoothed out the top end, but I'm not sure if it did so at the cost of detail. Need more listening with different musical selections before I render and opinion as to whether the change is for the good or the bad (and I also want to wait until my tube amp gets back from the shop and hear them with that driving the speakers), but the fact remains that the change was there.
