Can you give me the places where you foundnd this information?I really was impressed by what the CFAC's did in my crossover, specially in the upper ranges:
The upper midrange was strongly affected by the bass coils in my MG 3.3 crossover: Applause lost much of a certain artificialty, which we take for granted on stereo systems.
This artificial 'attack' is in my experience enhanced by thicker wires, and sonically a part of many lower-ohm air-cored coils, but even more so part of the sound of coils with magnetic cores, if they do not further shift the sound. Only the flat-wire coils can surmount the paradox of low loss and thin wire gauge - IMO
