Chokes, again. Primarily for those who bi-amp and use them

After more than a year using these blessed things in my bi-amped setup, I keep dicovering things. I suppose I can explain later, if there is interest. This is really about item #2 below. Here is the gist of it (YMMV):

1. If you use the chokes and you bi-amp, use one for each driver, so 4 of them. That's how they delivered the goods to me since the beginning of 2009. It's been great for my MMGs. The same may apply to tri-amping but I am guessing.

2. If you already use them for each driver, but not all the chokes are the same, try making them all the same type and model....better yet, all 5522s.

This pertains to these choke models (sold by Mouser):
5502-RC Desc.: Shielded RF Chokes 10uH 10% (9Amp)
5522-RC Desc.: Shielded RF Chokes 10uH 10% (20Amp) - Al Sekela's original rec.
