Gunbui! thanks for that last post. While I had a similar experience with the AP 9's (bi-version), I also noticed a fairly substantial rounding of the bottom end. Do not misunderstand, I literally couldn't believe the sound at first, tons better. But on the bass I thought it was the interconnects I was using, here's why.
I changed a bunch of stuff all at once, the Ap's were last (can't recommend this procedure to others). When I first put the AP's in, lots more info was making it to the speakers, more than ever before (the speakers were the only thing not changed). So I just thought somewhere in the IC's I had one, or a pair, delivering the flabby bottom end, but didn't notice it until the new speaker cables.
I was waiting until summer to fiddle with the IC's to try and mitigate against this feature. Now you confirm the other possibilty-the AP's are maybe doing it.
Anyone else have this experience with the AP's? I know of at least one member who has hinted toward this in another thread of his own making, but didn't jump in there. Though that member may not know who he is to me, his system is very similar to mine. Further confirmation possibly. I thought about going to the AP silvers to see if the bass doesn't tighten up some, but as a last resort. The I/C's first.
My I/c's are XLR Syn. res. alpha sterlings pre to amp & Trans. premium digital link CD to pre.
One last thing. I also know Scott, good guy.
Thanks,
Chris
