hi Arbelos!

your diagnosis of the problem seems plausible to me, especially because
i decided to locate the small networks on the preamp side, so
there are long runs of wire after them to the amps; do you think
the problem might be softened if i take the reverse path and
locate the networks on the amps side? or maybe i could separate
the tweeter network from the woofer ones and locate the first
on the amps side and the latter on the preamp side?

adding a pot is beyond my skills at the moment, but you can suggest
small changes to me, or even include some change in the networks
with your welwyn resistors... that would be really great and i'd
let you know what i hear in comparison

your description of the audible effects of raising amps resolution
is extremely interesting to me, as it seems to exactly coincide
with what i'm hearing now; it's certainly irritating at times,
as i've been playing just with the caps brands after the amps, but for the first
time i can listen now to the pure amps, with nothing in between;
now increasing the vol no longer increases the brightness!!!

yesterday night i listened to Klemperer's EMI version of Beet's 3rd
and the transients/dynamics of the first movement was almost
real for the first time in my life, while the deep tension and
emotion of the funeral march was absolutely thrilling; also,
the low level detail in my dearest piano & guitar recordings
have clearly increased, but in a NEW way, as i'm hearing not only more harmonics,
but also they are related more correctly to each other in a
much more convincing cohesive whole

now my 1.6 continues to be extremely revealing speakers, but
the kind of the whole "revelation" has deeply changed: it seems
to me as if the sort of musical whole message belongs to another
more natural & relaxed league

best, paco
