...increasing them slightly.
Tonally I'm a guy who loves his reproduced music a bit warm rather than with 'flat' frequency response. The 5A drivers/x-overs are split just about right, between upper and lower half at 600Hz, at the beginning of the lower MR.
I've experimented with driving the upper half of frequencies thru small-value resistors (Mills MRA-12s). I've only measured and not listened. I was surprised how much resistance was required to make a small...say 3dB...difference. The lower outputs from using 1- or 2-Ohm resistors were barely measurable, as in less than a dB, acoustically. It required 10 or 15 Ohms to get to around 3dB.
If I find a recording that's REALLY thin sounding, maybe I'll jumper in a 15-Ohm resistor. :-)
