I personally believe you should set your crossover point by ear and not by what your friend or neighbor think it should be. I use a Celodyne servo sub with my Quad 63’s and feel it works very well. I start low on the crossover frequency and raise it until you can hear the sub kick in with music playing. Then I back off about 7-10 Hz unroll it sounds right to my ears. Seems to work well for me.
How do you high pass your main speakers?
I have been very happy with the distributed bass array I added to my system, but from what I hear, the optimum method of integration is to high pass the main speakers.
Two questions:
1. What are my options for accomplishing this? Does this need to be a feature built into my amplifier or is there another component that needs to be inserted in the chain.
2. What crossover point would be ideal? What frequency and amount of rolloff would be best if my speakers are ATC SCM19's which have a frequency response of (-6dB) 54Hz-22kHz.
Cheers,
Tony
