use a VOM or just ears?

I'm sure I would enjoy it Frank. I simply think that things changed for the individual and I'm loathe to make it a blanket generalization of better. After all, you're running tubes on top and SS on the bottom where the bottom half has no audible interaction with the speakers per se, while the...

Well this is an area, as Brett and Frank and no doubt others, where personally, I'm not sure if the term is improvement or different. It can definitely be a very personal semantical issue where subtle shadings of the words may suggest positive or negative connotations. Far be if from me to argue...

that'd be one hell of a challenge let alone expense to even match a good crossover using active components don't you think?

difficult? perhaps next to impossible considering the monumental task of 1st matching what the engineers made then 2nd improving upon it. IMHO, it you want to actively biamp, buy it that way. so Jigesh, whatcha gonna do?

Well I certainly wouldn't rip out the crossovers and try an active approach especially if the speakers were designed by competent engineers. I think Paradigm is competent :) However, in this case, I'm assuming the poster wants to remove the strap and basically run two amps into the upper and...

In the vast majority of cases, they're there because the public, or some portion thereof, demands it and not for any positive benefit. No sense in alienating potential customers as it's cheap to implement. Those that want that feature and enjoy the techo-speak are happy. Those that don't, it's...

i don't think removing the strap results in the drivers being electrically isolated from each other. you could always dash off an email to Paradigm to confirm.
