For the longest i could not understand why the modules in the console sounded so much better than when in the lunchbox.
The reason is the Api modules are used to seeing a different load when in the console.
Being loaded down differently affects the freq response.
In the console they are creamier and wider sounding.
In the lunch box they are thinner,brighter and a little mid foward.
This is the sonic characteristic i've seen a lot of people attach to API modules.
In talking with a number of people(including API) i've come to realize that the modules are used to seeing a different load on the output.
API recommends a 600ohm resistor.
I tried it and it wasn't as close to the sound of the console.
Again in doing research i ran into a conversation with John Klett and he said he normally sets them up with a 1200ohm resistor on the output.
Tried it and voila!!!
The closest sound to the console out of the lunchbox.
Its not exactly there but pretty close.
I suggest you try it and see for yourself.
