To be fair you should build fixed pad for the 288's to try to get the L-pad somewhere in the middle of it's range with the 288's.Originally Posted by alancohen
My adapters arrived today and I wasted no time trying them out with my 802-8Gs. I left the XO at 500Hz for the time being.
Needless to say, I had to turn the attenuator knob up from about 1 to 6, but they sound great. Not as in your face as the 288s and I'm thinking a bit more extended on the top end. I think I'll let my ears burn in for a while...
To balance a passive system i like to start with the HF way low and bring it up slowly to more or less a point of balance. It sounds like the L-pad is hugging an extreme to get the 288's close to their balance point which is gonna make it pretty hard to make a fair assessment.
