I bought the x-overs designed for the 5As - which are supposed to be good. I just wonder if the pre to amp interconnect becomes less important in matching with the amp since it would seem the presence of the x-over would play a much greater role in the quality of sound and matching the circuit(?) between the pre and amp.
Vandersteen x-over and IC?
Since much of the sound of an interconnect is determined by the RLC electrical parameters of the IC and the output and input impedance between the components, does the use of the 2Wq x-over box that connects between preamp and amp alter the or change the perfomance of the main interconnect attached to the x-over? I would imagine the x-over and its capacitors alters the electrical relationship between the pre and amp - but I don't know.
