Cool! Can I pick your brain sometime then?
As you also probably know, the mid-range pierce of even a T3 is sometimes very tiresome. I found the 535 to be very helpful in dispersion. Course, it was made in 1986 and may need new capacitors. But it gave me much hope that amp differences might really help.
I have been trying to find out how to do the active best, and it would be nothing to bypass the woofer's active XO.
I have heard that active XO's have a sound of their own and that sound is not always good. It very confusing.
You recommending the Ashley?
Edit: woofers passive XO
