anyone bi amp a pair of ess amt1d active xo ?

neck deep in this project.
Using a rane AC22 active crossover
2 X ADCOM 5400
Integra 7.8 pre out

A/B - ing both speakers (one standard using the ess passive xo the other using the Rane xo set to 800hz) i find the mid and mid highs harsh. tweaking the xo point up to 900/1000/1100/1200 did not help much.

Any help via experience would be great!!

Thanks

The Rane xo has a 24bd slope.
I have tried to get specs from Ricky at ESS but no deal!
The ESS crossover has the heil at 800hz.

thanks for the response!!

Thanks IBJAMON!!
I have not got there yet.
Still working the side by side audio comparison.
Thought to adjust the Q using the Rane by using both channels (one for low) & (one for high)this would enable 2 points of adjustment using 2 XO points.
Still dorking with it and will supply an update soon!

well the process has taken a u turn - i live next to a hifi shop and i should never go into it! This whole upgrade process opened my mind up to other options (or speakers) that i may be missing out on (having this set of AMT 1D's for 17 years) long story short - i purchased a set of martin logan vista's.

my experiment is over - sorry i could not supply you with any other info!!

Take care!
