Improving ALTEC Passive crossovers

if the amp was built into the speaker it would sound even better.

Not really Phil. Then, you have an unusually LONG interconnect cable, transferring a signal at the lowest level of the system, over a long distance, and thus subject to losses more-so !!!

so move the source into the speaker also.

Phil,

Yep !! That is one possibility. You must mean "between" the two speakers.

I keep my analogue ( phono ) unit away from the speakers, so it interacts less.


I actually couple amp to speakers like so - use three 12 AWG twisted Mil Spec wires ( m22759/11 12), for each polarity, between amp and speakers, using four times the Bob Fulton length, of 57 1/8th inches.

With a low powered Type 45 DC SET amp, driving my VOTT A7-800s full range, I am VERY concerned about maintaining Transfer Efficiency, and often use doubled-up 12 AWG Mil Spec wire, all selected by ear as to amount. See this recent post, of my VOTT's amp's underside, as of tonight, 9-2-16. URL follows:
