@erik_squires ..Agreed, and my RTA’s and eq’s do as well. I’m monitoring both line And the ’room’ (the latter w/a calibrated mic into a ’stand-alone’ unit). Mid-range, as approached by the bulk of the ’conventional’ speakers marketed, is where voice and instruments Are....
And, Yes, the crossover is where the crux is....*serious stare*
And, this is Why I’ve moved to a digital xover since I don’t rely nor listen to a ’one box wonder’ for my ’listening distraction’. ;)
My ’reference’ amt’s will reach down to 500hz; below that, the sub picks up @ around 150hz.
That leaves a very important gap that’s important to infill. Currently I’ve using 6" with a 6" passive, quick enough to keep pace with the amt’s. And be x-overed to not compete with the subs.
The big issue for me is a woofer that’s fast enough to keep up with ’what’s above them’. *L* We all have our ’issues’, I guess....;)
...and I’m just an ’outlier’, anyway...
...and my Walsh are an entirely different animal...as well....
But, that’s what ’memory files’ is for...*L*
