| Full range drivers with piezoelectric tweeters It's way harder than you think. I tried it with a mint pair of Pioneer HPM ribbon tweeters with my Merrill drivers. As it turned out, after going through a crossover for the tweeters, the output level was so much lower than the main driver that it... | |
| What to pair with stacked Large Advents Your Lux can only handle 2 pair of speakers. How do you plan in add this in? I wouldn't double up on each set of binding posts. The impedance drop may just blow things up. | |
