WEll, I'm not surprised at your reaction! Those guys at Leak knew a thing or two.
Interesting to hear your comment on the treble; can't just be the Iso tweeter? Perhaps it 's the different X-over?
You're reminding me to smarten up my own boxes which have the odd cup ring -that you don't notice when listening of course.
Shall have a matching listen later-I use mine with the Kuro TV. (Panasonic Receiver) Digs out the deep bass well on some films!
At least you have a NICE problem! Albeit a rather large-physically- one!
I'll miss mine (if anyone appears!) otherwise, happy to keep owning.
Chris.
You forgot to mention the huge bass inductors, described as 'made of rolled 1+1/2 inch copper sheeting'!
Plus, if they sound good now, why change anything.....unless....?
Chris.
Only the 2075s had the big flat bass inductors - they’re standard coils in the 3090s. Victims of cost-cutting I understand!

Sun out. Wife away. Neighbours absent.
Perfect time to wind up the 3090s and listen.
Starts with Shchedrin-Bizet 'Carmen'- an arrangement with FIFTY-SEVEN percussion instruments!! - to loosen the rafters.
A bit of cool Lee Ritenour. Then some live recording of Bob Marley to remind me seeing them in their early-in-UK days.
('Live at the Roxy' CD) Those guys had played together for a decade before we got them; Aston 'Family Man' Barrett's bass coming over well via the 14 inch unit.
A bit of Oscar Aleman's cheery (mono) jive.Long time favourite.
Then some late John Hiatt, obviously recorded live as a group, great aura.
A bit of Enrique Morente to recall nights in Andalusia ('Suena la Alhambra' just before he died -very atmospheric + melancholy.)
Sometimes it's nice to relax with these great speakers!
Chris.
My 3090s sounded great again this afternoon. I thought so and so did the bloke who then drove off with them, leaving me behind an envelope full of cash.
I’m sad but, on the upside, the hall is looking a lot bigger again...

Know what you mean Adam, my Airedales were sitting in my hall for a few weeks until someone bought them. It was a struggle getting the pushchair in! Hope yours weren't there for too long.
Incidentally, where did you list your Leaks, Chris might find it helpful to sell his?
