I used the iTunes equalizer to get the best out of the F1's, but that caused clipping issues with the 609's - they're a little more sensitive. Straightened that out (flattened it a bit with just a bit of low end boost). That worked. But yesterday I had it running for several hours, and after a while there was something else going audio-wise on that I didn't like. Can't tell what yet. Still a work in progress...
Amp might not have enough guts for the dual concentrics which although more sensitive than the Mercury, need a little more current. Ive a chip amp that doesnt like harder to drive speakers even though its rated at fairly high wattage. Think they often just make these figures up with some amps. lol. The little mercuries are good for desktop duties
