Hi Carl,
What I envision is to gain more transparency, hopefully make the image "float" a little more, may be effortless in the highs is another way to put it. When I looked at the crossover, there are two caps in the tweeter section. I just wonder if I upgrade them to auricap or TRT, would more information be presented to the tweeter and achieve what I envisioned? Would this upset the coherence of the speakers? Since I have two months off coming in March, I would like to experiment a little.
I am also aware of mid-bass dip problem that you mentioned but I am not bothered by that.
I have also added a bybee filter to each driver over a year ago and that helped to gain some effortlessness across all range.
FYI, I am using a Modwright+Empirical audio modified SONY DVP-S9000ES as transport, Proceed AVP2 as DAC and Proceed AMP5. Cables are VD Nite digital, Acoustic Zen interconnect and speaker cable.
