What was the configuration of the resistors (series, parallel, combo)?
What were the values?
Did you measure frequency response with & without?

Super Simple theory on speaker cables
Hey Rocknss If you are truly interested in the details of the Focal, read here: https://pqltd.blogspot.com/2016/01/focal-profile-918-ultimate-upgrade-guide.html This is not my only data point however. I’ve also seen beginner DIY’ers alter the bass crossover by changing the second pole cap, which changed the ESR but only slightly, and found it sounded significantly different. Increasing the series resistor by maybe 0.5 Ohms fixed the issue. This is not proof, but it's interesting. Like the doctor who first noticed smokers and lung cancer seemed related. Best, E |
@Erik Interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ll have to check my cables characteristics! Empirically, I find that slightly capacitive ICs seem to perform slightly better — by which I mean a better sense of clarity & air, i.e. clearer stronger upper mids (& frequencies over 13kHz). Unless of course, in the case of amps, it comes down to slew arte? |
