I ran Vandersteen subs for years. The Vandersteen sub system with the crossover before the amplifier does integrate very well. The problem is the crossover is not transparent. As I upgraded my system I moved to the battery biased m5-hp crossover which is more transparent than the stock cossover but still smears precise sounds like higher frequency plucked strings and well recorded vocals. For a while I ran the subs with rock and roll and would remove them for jazz. I finally got tired of this and moved the Vandersteen subs into the home theater system
Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers
Hi, I posted recently about my vandersteen 1ci 's. Someone suggested I add a sub woofer. Well I've found a nice 2nd hand Martin logan grotto (not i) (comments welcome).
My question is: will the addition of a 3rd party sub work at cross purposes to the time & phase alignment of my 1ci 's?
