Well, after a few months listening, I'm much more impressed with the T1030s than my initial opinions. They amaze me with their separation and the sound stage. Continually hearing definitions that I've never heard from my all time favorite releases. Their really quite nice with all the digital audio I've acquired such as: HQ DVD-A, killer Steven Wilson remixes and various 24bit 96kHz Flac pro rips of vinyl masters & orig pressings (pbthal,DocRob & aksman, etc).Either my 50+yr hearing is getting much better (doubtful) or the crossover design/topology unlike any I've heard before. Comparisons are to some of better XO's I have used for years: EV X8/X36 even JBL N1200. And that's unmodded with orginial electrolytics . Although,hifreq side isn't near my hiend JBL N7000 w/pair of 077 prisms. The mid-low side is impressive. (Gerry, I took your advice & left as is). Quote:"The T1030 uses a "quasi-second series" network between the woofer and midrange sections, a parallel network on the tweeter. The crossover frequencies and slopes are also different, resulting in different "near" and "far-field" responses." Quasi-2nd series..... Unfamiliar with this type my interest is keen, and I plan to rev-eng circuit/schematic to understand the math/physics of your X0 design, if that's OK Gerry. I like what I'm hearing.....intend it as a compliment to your achievement. FWIW... Agree the T1000 can't be even compared to the audiophile T1030s
