I've read the amazing things Dennis Murphy can do to budget speakers that makes them even better. I am considering getting the B1+ for wall mounting, and be used with a subwoofer.
First was wondering what mods were done to make it better by Dennis(think it was the B1, but wouldn't the mods also apply the the B1+?).
What else would you do to help the sound of the B1+ slightly bright high end, and also the bass considering it will be mounted on the wall.
Last are there other speakers you would suggest similar to the B1+ that could also be wall mounted?

I believe the @Dennis Murphy mod to the B1 was a revised crossover and that Emotiva revised the B1 crossover when they upgraded it to the B1+. I'm not aware of any detailed performance measurements comparing the DM modded B1 against the B1+ so hard to say what gain might be achieved by applying the DM B1 crossover mods to the B1+.

EDIT: DM actually addressed this right here on ASR:

***update***..... Per Dennis.. The b1 and b1+ are basically identical speakers and the mod will work on the "+" model..... The upgrade is significant, i have the originals....
