I asked this question over in the speaker forum a few days ago, but didn't really get any opinions. Maybe this is a better place.
As I continue to try and squeeze out every possible performance upgrade for my system, I'm now contemplating this project.
When I got the NS-1000s, I rebuilt the crossovers with Mundorf Supreme caps.
Everyone knows the NS-1000s are a tad bass light, so I actually prefer the -3dB point on the Lpads for the mids and tweets, but whenever I try it I can't escape the feeling that the sound quality dives - which it shouldn't.
This makes me think there is something to be gained by removing the Lpads altogether.
So, I'm contemplating measuring the series and parallel resistance values of the mid and high LPads and replacing them with high quality resistors (wire wound?) and just running much shorter, high quality internal wiring straight to the drivers from the crossover and soldering those resistors right on the speaker terminals.
Comments? Any experience on whether there is anything to be gained in this effort?
