| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. There seems to be a big disconnect here. An active speaker design is a system which includes amplifiers, drivers and an active crossover. What I am talking about is an electronic crossover or active crossover which distributes the correct band of ... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. fuzztone - Huh, I don't get it. If your comment was for me, I said passive crossovers will protect drivers better. Since when are actives built to matched amps? | |
| Bi amp and bias issue Yes I know it is. Your opinion George, everyone is entitled to theirs. If your amps can't handle the current, change amps. Add a resistor if needed, but adding resistance will be detrimental to the high frequency response. I like accuracy, that's ... | |
| testing a crossover pragmasi - Yes, sorry for being an SA. You are absolutely correct, one needs to take one step at a time. I'm waiting to see and help if possible. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Sorry, guess I'm the one that jumped to a conclusion. I was not even thinking about amps internal to the speakers. | |
| testing a crossover I can guess, but that would be uncalled for and premature. | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies Thanks, very interesting. I would like the hear more once you have burned it in and had time to fiddle with it. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Active crossovers are the BEST. Contrary to what hilde45 said, the opposite is true, gives you more amplifier options. Benefits - Almost total elimination of intermodulation distortion, which is what your ears are most sensitive too. No phase shif... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Martins are excellent speakers and I do like them a lot, but when I heard the Omen Defs Mk.2 next to them I was amazed. And it was not an efficiency thing as I had my dB meter calibrated to an NIST standard with me at the time. Compare as many spe... | |
| testing a crossover I just looked at the crossover too, not good. Would be very easy to create a disastrous mistake, not to mention the EMI and RFI problems. Heat is not a friend of caps as you know. | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding I have not seen the high end films, but haven't looked. That's why I appreciated the link to Madisound. Yes I agree about searching, I too miss those big ass catalogs... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue I don't agree George, keep all resistances to a minimum. I use analog active crossovers all the way, you should try them. Only wire between the voice coils and the amplifier outputs! I'm using TDM 24CX-4 for my tri-amp system and Phase Linear X20 ... | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding Amen, rodman99999. For people that recommended Newark & Digikey, I only use them when I can't find what I want on Mouser. I've had better luck with Mouser overall and cheaper! | |
| testing a crossover pragmasi - I agree, rule out the simplest possible problems first. That's why asked about cables and connectors. Did we ever get an answer about that? I'm going to look at the schematic now. Good luck! | |
| Test and repair amp mijostyn - Guess you didn't read the OP's post where he said the worst thing for him would be for him to do it... |
