  I just received 2 replacement brilliance controls from the factory and they are cheap Dayton Audio L Pads. part# 260-265
  
  Hmmm…..don’t think I’ll be using these.

  Yeah, I would like to retain the ability to adjust. Maybe nobody wants to fork out $300+ to try…

  I haven’t heard of anyone using anything other than a fixed value resister, with 4ohms being the most common.

    KilKil: How many watt is the 4 ohm resistor being used to bypass the brilliance control?

      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.

  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..
