RE: Foil vs Wire: What difference does it make?

Spot on Roger! The crossover circuits are very different between the .6 and .7 iterations. Besides the obvious switch from a parallel to series circuit, the shape of the two 1.x series crossover responses is so different too. I thought it must be compensating for a difference in the efficiency of the foil conductor, I just wasn't clear as to why. The explanation from you and triamp about the difference in the magnetic field using the foil conductor vs wire has cleared that concept up! Thanks.

I somehow bought in to the idea that foil was "better". I just didn't question better for what? I assumed it was for a sonic improvement, but my own listening experience has not proven that out.
