Hey Wayne, this is me, 780 verbal, 415 math, LOL.
I increased R2 from 8 to 16 ohms which sounds pretty 'right'.
I tried adding the 8 ohms to R1 and the sound became more tinny and hot. Like when I put too big a value on the cap. Reducing the cap value from .47 to .33 would also help, yes?
A Zobel is R and C in series? The current R1/C1 is parallel, yes? Add a Zobel in addition to the R1/C1 after or before? What values would be a good starting point?
BTW, the current set=up which I've been listening to all day, just the extra 8 ohms on R2 is really good. Definitely more treble energy which is putting out more detail but not sounding shrill or coarse. Too bad the Altec 806A are 16 ohms. It would be nice to swap them back and forth with the BMS W/O having to mess with the crossover.
