Thanks. I have been reseaching these forums and the web. I have the fix for 'soft'domes, but have not found any info for the metal dome that I have on my RF7s. It is purely a cosmetic woe as it dose not affect sonic performance. I will start a new thread on the topic. Incase your interested, a better way of fixing a soft dome is very carefully, without any contact, use a vacuum hose. Holding it very close directly in front causes a difference in air pressure (lowers i think) in front of dome causeing the air pressure in back of the dome to increase. This gentily pops the dome dent out.

That is a good question. Probably the person who helped me position them or something might have 'backed-in' or similar.
I noticed it the first day, and no was not like that when first inspected. I can fix it perfectly, only problem is the 'fix' would be the picture and the tool would be Photoshop CS. Now can anyone tell me how to really fix it? Can it be fixed? Using a needle would be a bad idea?

I did consider a tube pre, and i actually would like to try tube. I jump the gun and bought the sunfire (ebay).

Hi Speedball,
I love my MC-252 and the r7s! I'm thinking about getting a Sunfire A/V Theater Grand preamp for $650. What do you think?
I really need better volume control as the passive homemade ones are just dangling. I'll keep the R7s until i can afford some B& W nautalis.
