To JimD: Don't get me wrong customer service is great and David Berman extremely helpful. I was just posting his response regarding a bad batch of cross-overs that seemed to only be an issue with the 6.3s. The original info I got on the bad Soliloquy cross-overs was a thread on Audioasylum.
To Rsya4: I did remove the jumpers. Also, I was refering to the Model 5.0s which switch the position of the drivers (sorry for the confusion) as I own both a pair of 5.3s and 5.0s. Thanks for your response. Actually, all is well that ends well. The problem I discovered was in the cross-over when I removed it from one of the speakers. One of the wires for some reason had come loose from the tweeter connection. Being quite handy with a soldering iron I reconnected with my trusty 2% silver solder. Now the sound pours out quite nicesly. Being that the speakers have less then 50 hours on them they do sound a bit reserved, although their full potential is certainly evident. Treble isn't fully extended (although it is sweet and liquid), bass isn't exactly firmed up, and the inner detail is somewhat lacking. In a sense they have not fully opened up. I intend to play them continuously for the next few weeks and anticipate a cacophony (sp ?) of musical magic. Thanks to all. By the way the early Soliloquys used twisted Straightwire cable, but have now switched to Analysis Plus. I am thinking about switching my Kimber biwire for Analysis Plus Oval 12 biwire. Has anyone evaluated the sonic performance difference between biwire and single cable?
