Thanks for the thoughts,
The weight throwing off SAM calibration is interesting - I guess technically it is true, but it is very hard to judge the real-life significance.
I also wondered about the surface texture on the mid-range driver- does a rough surface increase turbulence, or any other phenomena relevant to audio quality? Again - any change may or may not be material.
I might try repainting one gold from a pair and seeing if I can perceive any difference after each step.
My instinct is that the bass drivers won't care - the forces and weights involved are significant, and the frequencies very low - whereas the mid range is far lighter.
I also have some peelable paint - I think the weight/thickness of the application will be significantly higher than regular paint. Although perhaps for exploring whether paint has any significant impact, perhaps that will be an interesting place to start.
