I am curious as to why you want to install a more complicated system which lengthens the signal path with a separate crossover unitand extra IC's IOW why not use the internal crossover in the Rel (or whatever sub you choose? Not meant to be snarky or insulting. I just do not understand your decision.
Subwoofers and Crossovers.
My system is Cary DMS-550 / Luxman L-507uxii / Spendor D7.2
After researching I decided to add an active crossover and two stereo subs to the system.
- I am looking at JL Audio CR-1 as the crossover. This will take the pre-out from the Luxman and feed mains-in and setup the Luxman as separates. Is there anything else that I should look at? I am only looking at analog solutions.
- After looking a REL, Rythmic, SVS, Martin Logan and JL, I am leaning towards getting two JL Dominion D110s. Would these subs be sufficient or should I be getting JL E110s? I won’t be using the internal crossovers, so primary concern is fidelity.
- If I am unable to treat the room properly, I may be introducing a DSP solution just for the subwoofers.
I am looking for some advice from people who have walked this path before me on both the active crossover and the quality of D110s.
I would appreciate any advice on this process of integrating subwoofers into a two channel audio system.
