Hi everyone, I would like to first thank everyone on this site for sharing invaluable knowledge and experience. I hope someone with experience adding resistors in series with woofers or at the speaker terminal of acoustic suspension designs might be able to offer some help or guidance. I have been pondering the idea of adding a 0.3 ohm resistor in series with the woofer of my KLH model 23 (many on the internet suggest not to do this). The initial reason behind this decision being I want to add a low DCR air core inductor (0.09 dcr) in place of the current iron core inductor (~0.4 dcr) and I thought the 0.3 ohm resistor would account for the approximate 0.3 reduction in DCR to keep the original voicing of the speaker. Also, I would like to add a 1 ohm resistor at the speaker terminal to account for my Sony STR-V4 having a higher damping factor and a lower output impedance than a tube amp. I hope you guys don't mind sharing some of your knowledge and wisdom on what I have suggested doing - would you guys recommend the addition of both resistors? only one of the resistors? or none at all? As a side note - some KLH speakers have nothing in series with the woofer (e.g. Model 17), but the model 23 has a 0.4mH inductor in series with the woofer. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated Regards,
