How does your preamp sound with a different source or good RCAs vs XLR and no silver in the mix from the source to the preamp.
The same with the speaker cables. Are silver clad cables used in your set up?
200.00 usd of OCC XLRs or RCAs and Speaker ICs from china might blow your mind and save you TONs of money.
I'll go one further and say IF your amps saw 8 ohms vs 4 ohms or less they would sound a whole lot different because of some dampening (not much with a passive XO) but at least some. The mids would sound better with copper. The highs "copper" will tame and TIME. The BASS always likes heavy copper.
8 ohms may not push the amps to be louder, but I bet YOUR money they would sound quit a bit different and still have plenty of head room..
They make pre filters that can do that. ??? I'm pretty sure they do..
Copper alone will change things a LOT... I can't talk you into tone control can I? :-)
I have a Big Valve EQ on order and thinking about a Big Valve tube active XO.
That gives anyone direct coupling to their power amps. Serious cone control great dampening..
87% @ 4ohms is 83% or so @ 8ohms.
There is a LOT going on, how is the room treatment?
Unless you just want to own something different..
That works for me too..:-)
I'm just "TYPING" out loud...
Have fun..
