I would not spend the extra money on Path Audio for the woofers. I would use the Mills MRA12 resistors in that position. They are also great and cost $5.That sounds like good advice to me, especially if budget is a constraint, but it may well be that upgrading the woofer resistors will also make audible improvements. I don't have experience with that but I did directly compare 160V and 250V versions of the same cap on my woofer boards (shunt caps, at that). It was a subtle thing, and some songs sounded pretty much identical thru either channel, but overall the thicker film channel sounded a touch more full, with increased ease of presentation, and a bit more bass heft/impact (most noticeable on kick drums and such).

Path Audio is the perfect resistor i have ever listened, you can also check from there to consider the difference : http://guneytuncer.blogspot.com/2017/03/resistor-shootout-duelund-pathaudio.html |
What type of wiring do you recommendFWIW, I used Straightwire 18 ga solid on my new boards anywhere the cap or resistor leads were too short (or with foil-type coils which have no leads). But I used Cardas litz from the terminals to the boards and boards to the drivers (various gauge depending on input or output and woofer versus coax board). I made no attempt to sonically compare the Straightwire to anything else but did compare the Cardas to the OEM 18 ga solid (unknown source). |
