The crossover is built and will be testing it for the rest
few days. I am sure it will do some “comforting” for my SS amp. The question I
have no answer for myself if I need to use an input active stage. My preamp,
having 8R output impedance can p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am sorry; I do not follow what you are saing. I see no relation between a need to use a crossover with DSET topology. The Cat[/quote]What I am thinking is that with full range amplifier, you must use a speaker level cross...

Romy:Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

Ronnie,I do not know any. But the major question is why such a crossover is necessary. Obviously it requires 3 amplifiers and if so then the filters might be built in the amps. It one needs it for system prototyping purpose then if is fine but the de...

Had problems 2 and 3 here with my British crossovers
Both speakers have the 78 hz. Dip after a 50 hz. Peak. they are probably room resonances. Try moving the speakers and/ or the mike and remeasure.
Also you ha...

Dear
I know that it is very difficult to evaluate others system without a physical visit.
Still i have a very general question about the "worst crossover point".

Hi Josh! That was basically my idea too. Although I read that the 12 inch driver loses directivity after 750. But I played around with Behringer dcx 2496, and I had the impression, that 1200 second order was the best sounding. The main reason for cro...

Hi! I wanted actually to get rid of the behringer. Because I have only 1 super high quality tube amplifier and it was difficult to marry different amps with the speakers. And you cant use a high quality dac with the active crossover. I ll right now ...

Hi Jessie!
I’m probably suggesting the obvious, but have you tried adjusting the crossover component values on the fundamentals and MF-channels? On the fundamentals-channel, increasing the inductor-value, and decreasing the cap, so tha...

Jessie,
I was trying to evaluate the gain of my amplification in respect to larger room and again was thinking about your case. I think something that you do it not correct. You are complaining that you have not enough gain in upperbass, but I...

Have you checked whether the right crossovers are in there? These speakers may have gone strange ways as they seem to be so unused....

I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.
Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn
above and a mid horn below and they are physically time aligned, meaning
th...

I had a Behringer DCX2496 that used for nothing and I think it got broken. I do not want to by another one. What I looking for is some kind cheap, no more than $100 solution that would allow be to have 4 order filters and crossover point up to 250hz...

Hi Romy, Many thanks for replying. I do not want to modify the two drivers. I agree with about all the BS from people selling speakers with TAD drivers. What I want to do is replace the crossover with one of higher grade parts and thereby also elimin...

[quote user="i_should_coco"]I view of the fact I have two pairs of S2 drivers, I'm intrigued by the thought of running them a la Romy, i.e. high and low. So, in addition to procuring a pair of Big Mama horns, I'm discussing with Martin the prospect o...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"]In this thread, you previously said--
12) If a filter requires a phase inversion then it is preferable to flood crossover point with amplitude and do not invert phase.
What exactly do you mean by this and how's it work?[/...

It's never was my experience. A never seen any tonal distinction between first and second order and I don't think that I exper...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

How lucky was I that I bough that digital crossover! I am think now how can I search for my crossover slope and find that this digital toy would make it very so much easy. My major concern is to make sure that some frequency anomalies that I have fo...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Here is an example on how to use GOTO 505TT driver. Use the GOTO S150 horn and crossover at 200Hz to 1kHz. If you like to use other type of horn and crossover point, you are on your own. Maybe good or maybe not but that is you...

I have been quietly listening and working on my new system. The upperbass horn can be crossed lower than I anticipated, which is great news for me. I was going to have the crossover point of 160hz, but I can easily do 120hz :) The dual tad's will be ...

I think most of reader get my point of the car examples. The main point is to follow the manufacture recommendation on how to use the driver. Of course, if you want to do something different, that is your choice but don't come back and blame the dr...

Hi Murataltuev,I have two horn based systems but the system that is similar to yours or Romy's is the one I am currently building. The drivers and horns are as follows.38hz - 160hz - Tad 1601b - Bass Array (4)160hz - 600hz - Supravox 285-2000 hornfab...

Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the crossover so that it matches the woofer. Romy, from what ...
