DOug,
CAn you recommend a specific package of tweaks along the lines you identify to address the OPS issues?
THat would help take the guesswork out of that approach at this point as opposed to focusing on optimal amp.speaker matching, which to me is a much easier thing to assess to get to a good place first before then perhaps trying various wire and similar tweaks.
Tweaks are tweaks. THey can make a significant difference but only up to a point. Plus it is much harder to assess exactly what to expect up front when making a change. A lot of experimentation may be needed to get it just right.
Better to address the bigger fundamental issues first and tweak from there in my mind.
OPS move to biwiring off high and low target impedance outputs on amp was a step in the right direction in regards to a better amp/speaker mating, but more may still well be possible there. Moderate power tube amp integrated + Usher might sound quite nice, but I suspect a much better mating is possible still to get things to a much higher level.
