Transient material snaps sharper. The high end is more extended and fine detail is delivered, and the tone of the tweeter is transformed into a present but smooth sound.

The result sounds like an amp connected to a great pair of speakers, and not so "processed" like you hear with modern, active monitors. And yes it kills an NS10 up and down, no comparison.

You can de-solder the jumper easy enough for a tidier look, just use some de-solder wick but prime the joints initially with some fresh solder. You could even install a switch if you prefer.

How you would access it is a different question.

I thought so but i was wondering how to mount the switch in the hs80s case!

Long time since i did any soldering, would have to get some practise in.

Do one speaker at a time if you need convincing .

The jumper is very easy to remove (I would remove it so it won't be touching the metal at any chance), even with minor soldering skills.

Some folk want greatness after disabling a Limiter. Warren does more than that, and that makes it a legitment mod!!
