| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Any placement behind the horn will exaggerate time arrival issues.Most often shows up as cancellation (dip in freq. response) somewhere between the woofers and the horn, based on distance as well as the chosen crossover point.Technically, from a t... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Tbg, you make a good point about drivers. I know Avantgarde's position is that compression drivers do produce the leading edge, but it can sometimes be too aggressive, resulting in bleeding edge... :)That's not to say I agree, only to point out th... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I think I remember that 140 Hz is at 12 o'clock.It should be marked.Best regards,Jim Smith | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde The indicated frequency on the SUB 225, 231, or Basshorn is not correct, IMO. Or at least, using the recommended setting reults in a less-than-satisfactory outcome.For DUOs, I start at an indicated 140 (specs indicate 170).For UNOs, I start at 190... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Thanks , sub was intended as you said to sharpen up the SUB231-G.The highest setting is 220 Hz on them, not 500, but they arewell integrated with the midrange driverIt's not about the available settings.It's about the ability of the driver, if lef... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I have no idea how that would sound. Probably pretty poor.Most woofers aren't linear to an octave or more above 500 Hz, which is required for the DUO system to blend properly.A subwoofer of any kind would be a disaster, unless it was used to cross... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I'm not against mods. I personally know of some that actually improve the speakers.But what has bothered me in the past is actually getting to hear some of these mods, on the (mod) designers' personal systems.Unfortunately the basic set-up was gha... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I've watched this thread for a while. Wasn't gonna get involved, but here I am...I don't see the Acapellas and Avantgardes as a logical either/or choice. Not really different from, say Watt/Puppies vs. Avantgardes.The lower end Acapellas are nice,... |
