Cross over frequency ???
To whom it may concern.Problem solved.The problem with switching xover freq. on the fly is that the room modes increase in amplitude as xover freq. increase in frequincy.Example...I switch from 65hz to 80hz and I now have to take into account the ... 
What Equipment Remains In Your System Long Term?
My three B&K ST-140's,they act as a six ch. multi amp.Ten years now.Just tossed a JVC s-vhs deck that cost me 900.00 twenty years ago.Good bye forever. 
Room Correction Devices PARC or TacT???
My first venture into room correction devices was an ashly parametric EQ.Circa 1975.I found it at a pro audio store used and beat to crap for 50.00.It had seen about twenty years of road use.The thing was magic.It was easy to use and the guys at t...

My listening levels rarely go above 80db.I'm using adcom 555mkII's bridged.I'll have to get the specs from Adire for my tumults.I just wonder how much information is below 30hz on a typical action movie. 
Cross over frequency ???
Lions and tigers and bears oh my.Since the problem is in the sub woofer and associated electronics and the monitors seem to be doing fine on their own this is where I will begin.I will use the parameteric to tame room modes and an eq ( third octav... 
Cross over frequency ???
Problem #1 : My processor will allow me to adjust xover freq. but,that freq. is the hi pass and low pass.It won't let go of the LFE channel to adjust out board with out doing it it self.The unit is an EAD Ovation-8.I can run the front three large ... 
Cross over frequency ???
OK.What I did was run the mains and rest of the system ie. center and surrounds xover at 80hz.With the sub off I listened to a few well known sound tracks.Trying to ignore the unbalance sound it did not have that chesty sound I disliked before.It ... 
Cross over frequency ???
In my system the processor does both the high pass and low pass.Your advice if I understand it correctly is to use the processor to xover the ported monitors and a seperate xover to xover the sub ? I use Paradigm Mini MK3's as mains and center.The... 
Tweeter below mid-woofer
I think I need to re-ask my question.In my system I use monitors on stands.The front three are idenical to each other.They are about 38" above the floor.The tweeter is about 36" above the floor.I plan on purchasing four PSB bronze,three for the fr... 
Tweeter below mid-woofer
Right now I have the MK3's crossed over @65hz.I find that the single 6.5 driver compress's around 80-90 db.I thought that maybe a good two and a halfway design would work.Crossing over @ 80hz is out of the question.It sounds like hell.The mini's s... 
Recommended Subwoofer for Spica TC 50's ?
I used a vandersteen 2w.It was a match made in heaven.Make sure you get the adjusable x-over and experiment with the settings ,then have vandersteen whip you up a good hardwire inline x-over.Use a third TC-50 for the center.And the fourth for the ... 
Best way to "foot" a subwoofer ??
Have you thought about a riser ? You could build one out of 2x4's and use OSB(oriented strand board) tongue and groove.Use a ton of liquid nail and screw the hell out of it with drywall screws.Wa-la,floating floor again.Thats how the big boys do i... 
Best way to "foot" a subwoofer ??
Concrete floor.It is very difficult to get that bass right on that concrete floor.Most of that room whomping bass starts with a wood floor on floor joists.Are the walls concrete ? Good luck my friend.
