I generally prefer my system without the loading kit because the music is more robust and has more room-filling energy and impact.
With the plug that brings me to 33k/220pF plug the energy lessens and the soundfield moves back toward the speaker end of the room.
With the plug that brings me to 15k/220pF the effect is even greater and soundfield is almost entirely behind the speaker plane. The music is also somewhat anemic.
What I like about the effect of the kit is that the music become more coherent. I get a better sense of where the musicians are and what they are doing. The music is also slightly more nuanced. I suspect this is a function of the increased capacitance rather than the decreased resistance. I'm going to try and experiment with both by ordering more plugs that contain either just a capacitor or just a resistor.
