I used Entec's with Wilson Watts and Watt/Puppies for many years. I found it relatively easy to feed a preamp output to the Entec crossover. A second preamp output went to the main amp. This worked well and did not get in the way of the Wilson products. The Entecs just filled in the bass missing form the Wilsons. I used this set up for about 15 years until the Wilson Watchdog sub was available. I listened extensively to the WHOW and found it lacking in bass and speed compared to the Entecs. The Watchdog was the first sub that I thought was better suited to the Watts or WPs than the Entecs.
How to add woofers to Wadia, Classe, Wilson setup?
I recently purchased a pair of Entec SW-5s to supplement my system.
I'm not happy with the bass I'm getting from my Wilson Watt Puppy 3/2's
My front end is a Wadia 860 connected via balanced outputs to a Classe CA-2200 Amplifier--no preamp. I'm using volume control via my Wadia. My dip switches on the Wadia are set to output very low voltage so I can keep my volume control in the upper range.
Now for the problem. I hooked up the Entec crossover to the unbalanced output of the Wadia. The Entec's didn't put out much sound since the voltage was far below line level.
So I think I'm going to have to hook up my pre-amp (an adcom 750) for volume control and set the Wadia switches to output true line level outputs.
Should I continue to feed the Entec crossover with my Wadia or should I hook it up to one of the sets of unbalanced outputs from the pre-amp?
I hope this makes sense.
