Yeah, it's 'pro gear', but it works and won't fry the budget....;)
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.

@dimbhaka, *L* It all seems irrational after a certain point imho, but....*shrug* ;) I like to set the 'general environment' to flat response as much as practical, given that I'm running diy omnis' and dipoles in a 'highly compromised' space with one DSP equalizer, and tweak to taste with another. "Compromise" as an artform....*L* You might give it a go as an experiment with a minimum outlay. I'm using the Behringer to pass the lower bass to a sub to keep the omnis' into the range they seem 'comfy' with, since lower bass freq. are 'omni' in nature anyway.... Works for me....if not for you, you can always curse me with whatever seems appropo.....*L* I've already got the 'underwear into the crease' version, so try something different and surprise me... ;) |
