It seems I found the answer myself. At least partially. Through this whole procedure I have been running two sources into a speaker selector. When I powered down the Rotel amp for moving equipment around I noticed a difference through a different set of speakers from a different amp even though the Rotel was out of the loop. Long story short, even though the switcher is not powered there must be some crossfeed going on through it or the two output connections on the Mitsubishi pre I am using. The low freq distortion cleaned up considerably when I powered up the Kappas direct. They're still not quite there imo but as I said before, I'm not really a ported speaker guy. There is hope! Thanks for all your help I will continue with updates. My new nickname for the Kappas is "The Unforgiving" because I never really noticed this with other speakers.
