With this network in place the distortion's gone and the EMIMs have less to do thus helping them sound better overall.
Next was the task of moving the woofers closer (since they now operate at a higher frequency) and readjusting the DSP system. Here's what they now look like relative to the wings:
How's it sound? Wonderfull. Much punchier, cleaner, and (hard to believe) even more resolving than I've ever heard it (and that's saying a lot).
As I wrote yesterday, weekends are great times for rethinking your system and I am glad we spent the time and engineering resources to take our reference system up yet another notch in performance.
Change is never easy and often requires a bit of bravery. Consider that when it comes to making fundamental changes to one of the world's great reference systems, I've got to balance the outcome to the reaction: a combination of social shaming, catcalls, compliments and kudos.
Change is tough but if you move in the right direction it's the right thing to do.
