No reason at all why gold plated brass bridges shouldn't offer greater contact area than copper stranded cable. We do sometimes prefer a toppier sound over a "flat" one in comparison, but the alternative way I suggested works for me and hasn't stopped Dave selling loads of speakers demo'd that way
Anyway, the OP has gone the current fave route, so has hopefully got some bass he hadn't heard before and also a greater dynamic range. Mind you, almost anything does this over SA these days

Dave, twice in this thread you have stated that Monitor Audio's tweeter excites cone break-up in their mid/bass drivers; what makes you think this is the case?

Tweeters are sealed units, they don't vent into the speaker cavity- so thye can't set up pressure waves.
The tweeter domes weigh milligrams- so they can't set up physical resonance.
They beam at all frequencies- so there's no air rpessure effects from the front of the speakers.
I struggle to see how a tweeter could ever effect an associated mid-range drivers break up. Only the crossover can do that if the mid-driver is run too open at the top end. So nothing to do with the tweeter itself and everything to do with bad crossover design and component selection- surely?

Ashley Talks crap- Fear, uncertainty & doubt.
Ashley being Ashley James the marketing mouthpiece from AVI, who would appear to have DSJR's ear at the minute. ;-)
