One of the benfits of "active" is driver time-alignment - quite tricky to do with passive x-overs - some complexity is required...manufacturers often resort to physically stepping the baffles to do this - I think B&W were the first in the 1970's (was it the DM1? - the "pregnant" one)
A benefit of DRC is left/right time alignment. So active+DRC = pretty good alignment of stuff. When this all gels, one of the surprising effects is that the listening position becomes rather less important than usual. This seems counter-intuitive but has certainly been my experience to-date. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31590 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
