| Passive VS Active crossover-What s the difference s The job of the crossover is to divide the full range signal into ranges that the individual speakers are designed to handle. Using a two way speaker as an example, high frequencies to the tweeters, low frequencies to the woofers. A passive unit c... | |
| Passive Stage preamp vs Active Stage Preamp I agree with most of the above with a few exceptions. I agree that a passive pre-amp is difficult to implement, but not "always" bettered by an active. I have tried several different combinations and have found at least one that works. It requires... | |
| Can someone explain db sensitivity? Ok, after doing some research, I now think the 10 times power part of my answer was wrong. I don't know where I got that but I know I've heard it before. Must be the 10 times reserve power mentioned above. Sorry for the confusion.I also agree with... | |
| Can someone explain db sensitivity? Note to Aragain. I beg to differ. I believe you are confusing percieved loudness as measured in dB with amplifier power, which is also measured in dB although they are two different things. The 90dB versus 87dB is the output loudness from the spea... | |

| Harvey Rosenberg R.I.P. I encourage you to pick up a copy of the July/August "Listener" and read his article where he talks about a friend's recent brush with death. It is ironic that he was the one to pass. In part, he offers "Life is too short. Don't waste your time wi... | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S Glen, If I had rated any of these posts, I would have given you positive points for the Bose 901 idea. Audiophile they are not, but if the goal is to play at a high volume with low distortion, and you are not worried as much about imaging or tonal... | |
| Jazz Review: Miles Davis Thank you so much for taking the time to share your insights with us. Although I own one or several copies of most of these recordings, your added perspective to the works of this genius is most welcome. I have printed a copy of your post to add t... | |
| AMPLIFIED MUSIC: AM I LIMITED TO SOLID S Sorry for the abuse you have received. There are those in these forums that find it humorous to make fun of those they consider to be less enlightened.In answer to your question, to play this kind of music to realistic levels requires a lot of pow... | |
| Crossover questions Check out the article by Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg in the August Listener about electronic crossovers and hooking speakers directly to your amps. Not exactly what you are talking about but an interesting approach that I intend to try. He also has a... | |
