Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway


I want to insert a high pass filter between my preamp and amp (both Benchmark) so I can limit the frequencies going to my full range speakers (Ref 3A Nefes II) to over 100Hz with a 24 db/oct. slope. The 3 possible ways are passive, active, or digitally (A to D then D to A where this is done through software). I am seeking opinions on which method would be the least intrusive to the original signal (ie. best sounding). Thanks for any replies.

If those speakers have “Thumpy” bass it’s either your room or most likely the position of the speakers.  Probably they’re too close to the front and side walls.  
Before you try surgery or software, I’d start with pulling them three feet from the front wall.  That’s three feet from the back of speakers.

All the best.
