I see... your crossovers are customized for your speakers? Sounds pretty hard to get right otherwise - you'd have to match the phase versus frequency curve for each driver and cancel it out, which would mean adjusting the characteristics of the crossover depending on the speaker. But I suppose if you designed the system as a whole from the start with this in mind it might not be too bad. What speakers do you have, if you don't mind my asking? I vaguely remember they were some variety of active studio monitors - is that right? Interesting discussion - thanks very much for your responses so far, by the way. They've been very informative. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31590 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
