November 11, 2021 at 11:02 am #1026 MikkoParticipant Yeah, I would like to retain the ability to adjust. Maybe nobody wants to fork out $300+ to try… November 11, 2021 at 11:00 am #1025 kilkilParticipant I haven’t heard of anyone using anything other than a fixed value resister, with 4ohms being the most common.

November 15, 2021 at 10:43 am #1031 kilkilParticipant I used a 50w 4ohm. particularly this one: https://www.partsconnexion.com/RIEDON-81247.html Then it is a fairly simple job of unsoldering the brilliance pot and replacing it with the resistor.

November 11, 2021 at 9:45 am #1023 MikkoParticipant Some discussions about removing the brilliance controls (L pads) with a fixed value resister. Has anyone tried a Speakerformer? I need to replace both of my controls and I’m thinking this might be a nice upgrade..
