prof,I'm using the Thiel PX05 passive crossover to drive the SS2.2.As I understand it, the PX05 takes the full range signal going the 2.7s and passes the low frequency signal to the 2.2 sub.   There is no high frequency roll-off for the 2.7s. The ...

Nostalgia!!   I grew up in the Sonoran Desert (no electricity) and cut my Classical teeth on the Victor RCA Red Seal 12' 78s.  We had a wind-up Victrola, and used cactus needles, as we thought the steel ones would sooner or later ruin the records....

Bryston 4B cubed. (Driven by a BP 17 cubed preamp)
