I just found the thread from May 2003 where Ed does the comparison test between EFE and Gr Research speakers(crossovers). For the listening tests both sets of speakers were set on 24" stands with their cabinets inverted(woof up-tweet down). I said to myself "Self, you should try this", and so I did.
I like it! observations: Bass is tighter and better defined(not necessarily deeper but sounds better to me. Highs more extended, less sibilant, but cymbals have some nice shimmer. Midrange slightly less forward, male voice more natural. Soundstage and imaging better. These are small, but noticeable improvements, my ears, my room, my equipment. I have the modified crossover, 5 ohm resistor on board, 3.3 0hm resistors at tweeter +'s, Jolida 170l amp(with 5751's) NAD C521BEE CD.
Anybody else have theirs set up this way? Done any frequency response tests? Have any cautions about using them this way(they're topheavy, etc.)? Ed, what say you? Thanks Everybody, Tillerman
