I'm using a REL to but with line level from my HT-preamp works great in that application too, in the case of digital HT-preamp it's best to use the filter integrated there.
I use a stadium 3 xover at 50Hz mains are good for 30Hz but a bit off overlap in xo region is good. And I wanted to keep the main "tones" of the instruments to my main speakers. Imho there no substitute for large floor-standing speakers even when you are using a sub. With tiny satellites the xo gets to high etc you start to hear the sub. Regarding xovers the one used should have a rather steep response 24dB slope or even better if you use a high xo frequency. The theory is that you can not localize sound <125Hz something, that's probably correct. But imho you can always localize a subwoofer filtered around 125Hz , filter is not infinitesimaly steep it had distorsion and cabinet noises etc. So I go for an crossover <50Hz and large mains, this makes this effect almost unoticable in practical use -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75808 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
