Tweaks That plug in to speakers and ? Why they work

The filter can only take away, it can ADD nothing, that’s why it’s a filter.

Impedance matching is going to cause the onboard XO to act differently, or correctly via the way it was built and tested, either more so or less so.

I can see why quality parts don’t sound WORSE, I just don’t get how they sound better?

There must a funky factory XO, that a (shot in the dark) filter makes everything sound better.

I’d pay a little more attention to what Erik is saying OP.

HF roll off will sound better if the room isn’t treated. Mid or BASS, it depends on what the filter does. It may, and most likely does, make the ramps a LOT steeper, so they sound sharper.

Dips are going to stay dips, but peaks, steeper roll offs and a lower frequency roll off is what that filter CAN do.. It can’t add a thing..

Cheap parts in the path.. vs quality parts in the path vs NO other parts in the path. I’ll go with room treatment, tone control and NO extra parts in the path. :-)

The happiest woman/man I ever met was poor.

The same with the children of these people.

They ALL had one thing in common and it had nothing to do with their monetary situation.

They kept their personal and spiritual life in good order. The TWO worked together like hand in glove.. :-)
