Thanks for the advice, Wayne. I'm not really opposed to adding an electrical circuit, I just made an assuption that the high Q speakers may be just on the edge of decent bass and adding more resistance might not be a good thing. Sounds like it won't make much difference as far as damping goes. Digging around my parts bin I found two 2.5uF caps, two 1 mH air core inductors and some 8 ohm, 20W non-inductive resistors. This might be a good group to start with and see what happens.
The LS-12's I have are in an open baffle, the same ones I've been using for a couple of years now. They are quite flat down to 80Hz, then subs kick in below that. I tried LS-8's for a while, but the 12's just give a bigger sound that I like.
Thinking of trying some EV 12TRXB's next. These are the ones with AlNiCo magnets, 16 ohm voice coils, and T-35 tweeters mounted coaxially. Around 0.7 Qts, sensitivity around 95-97dB. I'm negotiating for them now.Dave
