    You're a moron. I don't have to try it to know what it's doing. It's not rocket science, it's basic speaker design.

    This thread isn't about caps. If you wanna talk about caps, start your own thread.

    Please re-read the first sentence of my post that you quoted.

    I'm done with this one.

    CL, glad you had some luck. Here's another, and I think better, way to tune your maggies: Active bi-amp. Get a RCA splitter and some inline crossovers and then put a real tube amp on the treble side and take the resistors out and give that a try.

    Oh, and caps don't do squat to tweets! :p
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    These magnepan supplied resistors really transformed my 1.6qr's into everything I hoped for. No more harsh, bright, digital sounding speakers. Very warm, rich and full now.

    Thanks to dkg999 for the suggestion: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showpost.php?p=825696&postcount=6
