What about doing it all digitally? Data to the speaker, 1 DAC per driver. Model the ideal crossover in software/ implement in a DSP prior to the DAC, feed the DAC output direct to an amp optimized for the particular driver. No phase issues, an you can even add delay to time align the drivers. What's that you say? Prior Art? http://www.meridian-audio.com/media/14218/dsp8000-ds2.pdf. It'll never catch on, where are the endless tweaks, and the swapping of components in the hunt for Synergy

Exactly, why not just re-terminate a stock cable? then you can re-sell the unmolested replacement cable, and if you screw up, you're only out ~$13, and can try again. http://shop.sennheiserusa.com/retail2002/ProductDetails.aspx?direct_cat=Parts&direct_prod=092885

What happens to the crossover in all of this?

So, Steve gives Al sweet, sweet wood with Claire's encouragement. As it were. Very nice craftsmanship.

A Martini a la Joanne, and a Latte for me, on the deck.

Just a few London references there! Is there a crib / cheat sheet that goes with it?

If you thought that was disgusting, don't look at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/13/ventblockers/ or http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/18/ventblockers_2/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/03/ventblockers_frog/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/06/dirtiest_pc/

On the software side, it would be interesting to see what Audio Diff Maker had to say about the differences between a pre and post HDCD decoded file (It has gain compensation, so should cope with the 6dB difference case)

^ Why not do it in software (hdcd.exe) via dbpoweramp or foobar? Then you won't need the box (assuming your DAC of choice can handle the resultant 20/24 bit files)
