Hi before I connected the std crossover I decided to try a smaller bypass cap. Used a 2 uf no real improvement but the mid eq showed a lot more difference between min and max. Then I tried bypassing the eq altogether, wow!! Top a little hot but there wa a lot better overall balance. Now I have been playing for a couple of hours, bypassing the mid eq but keeping 3ohms in series with the top (even using the winged c kt88 in the quicksilvers). Something is definitely wrong in my implementation of the mid eq. Bass is back and sound is glorious. Hope this lasts
