B80 mk2 and dealer clarification
ok.... I have already shipped my B80 for upgrade. It has been 3 months now and I will be getting them in Jan. However, I am in the process of moving to a different country so I won't be giving and listening comparison soon. However, I think most of you will be interested in the following info I got from my dealer and also my experience.
I got my B80 about 18 months ago. It is Mk1. At that time, Mk2 already exist. My mid-range unit is actually like the new one, silver with a chrome cone in the middle. I believer it is the same on the Mk2. Mk2 has, like most of you know, a new cross over and new front "horn" which is about twice as big as the one on Mk1.
My dealer told me that they have seen incremental upgrades (in both electronics and speakers) that never received the "Mk +1" designation. Maybe that explained the difference in mid-range unit.
I will give my report once I moved!
