[QUOTE="Norval, post: 62343, member: 62"] Few things: 1) So the reason why there is no cap in parallel with the bass driver is because the bass driver runs full range. So that explains the no cap issue. 2) Dewaldt, your assumptions are correct in terms of why it should sound better. There is no coupling cap in series that can degrades the signal, and inductors apparently have a lesser effect on sound quality than caps. Or that is the theory behind it. But.... 3) The only true way to check is to use the same driver complement with series and parallel x-overs and listen to them. My guess is that the main reason you might prefer it could be due to the completely different configuration you have. (Full range driver, TQWL design, with tweeter just to add tops.) If your reference is a normal 2-way, you cant really compare. [/QUOTE]
