| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? The best crossover is a high grade capacitor to roll off the bass going into the mid/high. If you are going to go with multiple amps, or a satellite/sub, this is a really good compromise. No more parts, or power supplies, at the expense of only h... | |
| Speaker Height / Tilt If anyone is interested and has access to a PC, you can try out Xsim with these crossover files. You can literally simulate a speaker, and try changing the distance in the simulator. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/05/lm-1-bookshe... | |
| Speaker Height / Tilt HI @twoleftears You asked: So there’s a "right side up" for raw tweeter drivers? If the mounting housing was round or square and symmetrical, you could actually position it 4 different ways and create different frequency responses?? Same true o... | |

| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi DSPer,There are a lot of linear amps which are also not great for low impedance loads. Like those, many Class D modules are designed for more normal loads. Some however, like Hypex, have been rated down to 2 and will do a very good job. Just ki... | |
| Loud hum from left and right when passing ht signal through Don't lift the ground on AC devices!! Try disconnecting your Cable TV input first, if that is the issue, get a cable TV isolator. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load My guess is that amps with low impedance around 100-150 Hz sound more discerning Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I meant: "My guess is that _SPEAKERS_ with low impedance around 100-150 Hz.... " Apologies for any confusion, I hope that to most it w... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load That’s just adding series resistance to the perceived load to make it look higher to the amps output stage so it doesn’t complain, and what that does is lower the damping factor and raise the output impedance as seen by the amp @georgehifi - Y... | |
| Tri-amp 3 way speakers, still worth if using a multi-channel amp? (HiFI Stereo) Take your questions to DIYaudio. More informed readers, and you can post pictures of your build, frequency response, measurements, etc. | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? Hi @closenplay Very interesting combination of features!!Is it a traditional enclosure otherwise, or open baffle??Best,E | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I have seen some commercial speakers from Focal introduce a 2 Ohm low deliberately in the crossover. Took quite a number of caps and resistors too. My guess is that amps with low impedance around 100-150 Hz sound more discerning, more snobbish of ... | |
| Speaker Height / Tilt So, here is the evidence tweeters are in fact directional. From the spec sheet of a typical tweeter:https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/soft-dome-tweeters-vifa/peerless-dx25bg60-04-1-textile-dome-tw...Notice the frequency response chart. Each li... | |
| Where to get a modestly priced 5 volt Linear Power Supply? I think Wyred4Sound was selling a modular unit. | |
| Speaker Height / Tilt In case anyone is wondering, here is my reply: If you mean dome tweeters, nope, they are directional, eventually. Worse, some suffer from resonance on axis which is dealt with nicely off-axis. Now, the issue next is lobing. That is, how the tw... | |
