Subwoofers and Crossovers.
When I measured the time difference previously, I had 7.5ms for the left and 7ms for the right main/sub matching. It is probably related a little asymmetry in my room.   So I was looking for another way to calculate the time delays for the mains a...

I had Rythmik FM8s and miniDSP SHD delivered by Saturday and have been fiddling with REW and miniDSP software until now. The subs are flanking the Spendors on the inside. Myt steps in setting them up. 1. Level matching the subs to the mains. Ini...

@avanti1960 , my main aim in high passing the Spendors is to eliminate intermodulation(amp) and doppler distortion(speakers). I will also be setting one of the presets to disable the subs and run Spendors full range.  I will post my experience in ...

@m-db I am not getting the CR-1, so whatever signature the SHD leaves, it will be across the spectrum. SHD looks very flexible and I am seeing myself setting two crossovers one at around 110/120 for general purpose and one around 170/180 for fema...

Bought two Rythmik FM8s and a miniDSP SHD; they should be here this Friday. Deciding on the subs was easy, but the analog/digital was more difficult and I am still not 100% convinced that it is the right decision. Will update this thread on my pr...

@mijostyn Thanks for the encouraging words. Also what products are similar to miniDSP up the price ladder? not too high though.

@curiousjim thanks for suggesting SVS. As I am planning on adding miniDSP SHD, which has crossover and Dirac Live, I am looking at sub that have minimal processing.

Will report on my experience once I get the SHD and subs in place.  I am still vacillating between Rythmik FM8 and JL D110.

@wokeuptobose Thanks for the clarification.  I will be sending the Luxman's pre-out to SHD and feed the SHD's outputs to Subs and Luxman for the mains. I will be getting a miniDSP SHD.

@wokeuptobose Thanks for posting your experience with miniDSP SHD. If it is doing a great job in your expensive system, I should give up my paranoia about adding a DSP after my DAC.  Just to clarify you are feeding the analog signal after Lampiza...

@khiak Those Funk Audio subs look awesome and am sure they perform well, but they are not for me. Not only are they beyond my budget but they are also really big. @asvjerry If only it was so simple. I realize digital crossovers are really good, b...

@fittebd , Thanks, in fact I have been leaning towards getting Rhythmic F12SE instead of JLs along with the CR-1. I may have to add a DSP just for the subs.    @audioman58 Thanks, it is tempting to look at SVS or ML for DSP, but I am still leani...

Thanks, Mike. That was one of the articles that sent me down this path looking for an active crossover. If I hadn't read it I would be blissfully listening to RELs by now.

@ozzy Thanks for the feedback.

@ozzy  thanks for the information. Do you see the benefits of high-passing the mains at low volume too or just at high volume?
