I'm a neebie here, but found your insight on MMG xovers. I'm curious if you made any other changes to your design after this post, and if the .75mh inductor sounded better than the stock 2.2mh. I previously used the " Gunned " xover, but found it was exclusively mids and not my taste. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cknuout2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57548 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
