The usual consquences of limiting LF response within reason

Actually not, things like voice and instrument box sounds suffer, it is
bad for guitars and the entire violoncel family as well as for concert
grands and for perceived 3-dimensinality

Please note: "within reason".

particularly when reproduced on systems
with limited dynamic range at very low frequencies, which
includes the vast majority of consumer music listening
systems.

But the outcome is that playback systems that do not have an extended lf
response sound cleaner

Not around here. If supplied with too much bass, they clip their amps. If
they don't do that, they overdrive their speakers.

Must be different laws of physics over there. Amps that can't be clipped and
woofers that can't be overdriven.

Maybe if you told us exactly what TECHNICAL parameter was
"vastly improved" by the replacement?

Detail, spatial definition and rendition, perspective - in short: stereo
imaging - and intertransient silence.

No TECHNICAL term to be see there I'm afraid.

You DID do proper measurements to determine that you weren't
just imagining things, right?

I did not, and I specifically mentioned that measured distortion
performance of the thingamajic in question was worse after the mod. If
you want to think that it did not in fact sound better after the mod,
then think so and be happy. I am happy with the many good recordings I
got from it after the mod, and we can then both be happy and believe
that each other is a fool as per your implicit suggestion.

You should have replaced it with a thermionic tube to really "improve" the
sound then! :-)
