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.

 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

[fittebd]  If you had an older Velodyn before they ruined themselves, 

I drove by the Hellyer Av. San Jose location Thursday afternoon and the Velodyne Lidar parking lot was almost full. What do you mean by, ruined?

dimbhaka, unless your digitizing the entire bandwidth the difference between the digital processing of the SHD and the analog of the CR-1 on the extra low frequency may be slightly noticeable in a side by side comparison due to the speed of the processing. It’s not going to suck the analog out of the presentation the way most full bandwidth processing can.

I found the JL Audio CR-1 Manual to be quite informative with my subwoofer setup. It dramatically improved the presentation of my Velodyne DD Plus subwoofers using Velodyne’s extensive Manual optimization adjustments and presets. Your in the Mob now, have fun with it.
