Yes, I turn the tone control fully clockwise and move the passband
tuning too, but I cannot get improvement in weak signals.
I have tried with a multi mode audio filter, a Datong FL-3, no
results.
With respect to the antenna it is a Wellbrook 1530+.
Now, I hesitate in buying a R7A or a Collins 390A and to selling the
R8b.

- First of all, I'm glad that you are reconsidering
- buying a new expensive radio.
- It won't solve your problem, since I had the same
- issue with not understanding speech from weak
- tropical band signals with my R7.
- I had a Sherwood SE-3 synch detector (your R8B
- has a synch built-in) and ran the audio out to a
- good speaker, but still it was too bassy.
Bassy sounding Drake Receiver ?
OK then why don't they make a Kiwa Audio Upgrade
for the Drake R7, R8, R8A and R8B SW Receivers ?
Because it's hard to improve upon perfection!

I swear by, not at, Drake receivers
Perfection? Hardly. Nice radios to be sure, but not perfect.
