attenuating maggie 3.6's

I believe the Magnepan literature, which says that many recordings are made with overbright highs to compensate for speakers that roll off. They suggest that you insert a resistor in series with the tweeter so as to match the Maggie response to what the recording engineer assumed when the recording was made. Every speaker crossover network that I know of except for Maggies has a tweeter "padding" resistor. Magnepan gives you the ability to easily select the value of this resistor so as to suit your taste (or more likely, your HF hearing).

As an experiment with low cost biwire, I replaced the one ohm resistor that I had been using with a small size wire run for the tweeter, calculated (and measured) to give me the one ohm that I like. I think the results are very good, and I don't know any other way to biwire for $8.50!
