Very interesting, N-set. Of course we have been setting typical RC out at, say, 2 Hz for many years; but still I have puzzled over a sort of sonic "sump" and/or bungee effect that seems to increase as the sheer mass of parts begins to pile up. On the flip side, what sounds better than a small SET and raw drivers playing Girl With Balalaika? The question is, how can we get what we need from music by the least possible means? Here we are, trying to get GWB sound quality from a full orchestra with chorus at full tilt. Going backwards, looking first at the air that must be moved, all those motors, and the scale and magnitude of the cycling involved, makes me wonder what I was thinking when I went to single amping to begin with.
Yes, I agree that the first place to put a second amp is at LF, once the working requirements of the LF motors are known.
