I suppose the question then is, does the SL600 then sound more correct than your normal system with 'better' amplifiers? Don't you still find the sound of the woofer to be too smeared, slow and dark?

Actually they are phenomenally balanced and integrated between the drivers and drivers to enclosure. I did not detect any sound of the woofers at all if I do not overdrive them. As soon I stress them ether with power or with LF frequency extension then they do fall apart. But why does one would go into stressing them with amplitude or with bass? The objectives are very different: do not let them play any stressing bass as all.

There must also be some substantial attenuation (20 dB) being applied prior to your bass system to match its output to the Celestions. Isn't the effect of that audible?

Nope, the LF section that use for the SL600 is 88dB and I put the LF on a transition slope.

Isn't the character of what the Celestions produce also radically different to that of your bass system?

Hm, it is still to be seen and as it should be properly integrated: something that I did not do yet. It possible that better woofers might be found but between two drivers that I tried I did not find success, including the Utopia drivers that I mentioned above. In fact, I did not think as now that the SL600 have problematic woofers: I believe that they were severally overdriven in the original design.
