a happy one to you as well!The bass has lost its weight. I can only talk about it as "lack of boom and rumble". The midrange and (since I have twisted them together) top end are fantastic.
I listen to a lot of rock music, that has lost its "heavy" feeling somewhat but the detail is more apparent. I believe that the solid state amp I use is showing itself more. The system is more transparent it seems, as if a veil was lifted. With jazz/classical coloration is not there, the instruments sound like they are played at a quicker pace, and more richly so.
If you mean there seems to be more music by "richly filled out" that is indeed the case. The bass however went down a notch, I don't know what to make of it really. As I said the bass lost its weight, I find a need to turn the powered subwoofer on now.
I gather from this that the wire is more transparent than my previous setup.
