That slot DOES make a difference and you are fortunate to have them, instead of "vanilla" HI's.

If you ever want to sell them, let me know.   :o

Bill, you are a pro sound guy... How are bose 800s? I'd never use bose for a home stereo, but I'm curious about their pro stuff.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Re: 800's.

-- I'm pretty sure that's the model a friend was using before I filled in for him as a DJ in a bar.  He ended up buying Klipsch HIP's.  He still uses them, over 30 years later.  I never owned Bose.

Re: Bose "Pro" stuff.

-- I have mixed feelings, based upon what is being played through them.

-- One friend uses a pair of Line Array (L1?) stuff, for live use, for his acoustic duo.  Works for him and sounds fine.  Very expensive, tho.  But he likes their packaging and appearance.  They sound fine to me, in this "live" application.  

-- Another friend bought the same system for DJ use and used them at a gig.  I listened to them and did not like the sound.  Comb filtering, no real high end and no real bottom end were apparent.  But "coverage" was very good.  Sounded crappy, everywhere.  lol  He returned them the next day.

Overall biased opinion?  I don't see how you can get a full-range sound with a boatload of tiny radiators and a ton of EQ.  While they may do OK in a "live" situation, they don't seem to replicate known material very well.  Your mileage may vary.
 ;D
Hope my P.O.V. gives you some insight.
