Hey folks,
I've been fighting with a set of tower speakers I have (Wharfedale Sapphire SP-89s) - specifically their lack of bass output. Had a few other posts in this forum, but like many guys, I end up solving some of my own problems.
However, a new thought occurred to me today. Is it my bass is missing, or are my mids too "hot"? And this is where my question comes in that makes me feel dumb to ask.
My last set of towers has the mid and tweeter hooked to the HF posts, and the dual woofers to the LF posts. However, when I was experimenting with the Sapphires yesterday, I noticed that the two woofers and the mid are hooked to the LF, and the tweeter is by itself on the HF posts.
My question (and I ask because one woofer in each tower has been reconed), could someone have also monkeyed with the crossovers, and rewired the mid to the woofer section? If so, could it be getting too hot an output vs. the less efficient woofers, meaning that I can never get the mids and woofers into balance?
There were no obvious or overt signs of tampering with the crossovers, but this almost "feels" like it could be the problem. Is it normal to have the tweeter and mid on the HF section, and the woofers on the LF, or are there no hard and fast rules?
