| xover settings for Avantgarde owners - survey. For the UNO, use an indicated setting of 190.This isn't optional with different rooms...It's what's needed for the SUB 225 to meet the UNO mid horn at the actual crossover point. Level may be set to taste, but leave the crossover at around 190. | |

| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Amfibus, the Duo mid horn is about 2" wider on either side. Since it's fairly directional, I haven't noticed any problems simply placing it wherever a UNO had been installed.Flg2001, I'd agree with your friend's observation about the Acapella twee... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde 3m is about the shortest listening distance you can hope for, and it will take PRECISE tilt adjustments at that.This is based on your listening seat height. The closer you are, the less forgiving this adjustment is, due to the spacing between driv... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Jim, are you agreeing with my sub placement as an acceptable trade off.Unfortunately, I can't agree or disagree. Without being in your room, and seeing what placement works best, I can't possibly know. Have you tried inverting the polarity on all ... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Any placement behind the horn will exaggerate time arrival issues.Most often shows up as cancellation (dip in freq. response) somewhere between the woofers and the horn, based on distance as well as the chosen crossover point.Technically, from a t... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Tbg, you make a good point about drivers. I know Avantgarde's position is that compression drivers do produce the leading edge, but it can sometimes be too aggressive, resulting in bleeding edge... :)That's not to say I agree, only to point out th... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I think I remember that 140 Hz is at 12 o'clock.It should be marked.Best regards,Jim Smith | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde The indicated frequency on the SUB 225, 231, or Basshorn is not correct, IMO. Or at least, using the recommended setting reults in a less-than-satisfactory outcome.For DUOs, I start at an indicated 140 (specs indicate 170).For UNOs, I start at 190... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Thanks , sub was intended as you said to sharpen up the SUB231-G.The highest setting is 220 Hz on them, not 500, but they arewell integrated with the midrange driverIt's not about the available settings.It's about the ability of the driver, if lef... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I have no idea how that would sound. Probably pretty poor.Most woofers aren't linear to an octave or more above 500 Hz, which is required for the DUO system to blend properly.A subwoofer of any kind would be a disaster, unless it was used to cross... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I'm not against mods. I personally know of some that actually improve the speakers.But what has bothered me in the past is actually getting to hear some of these mods, on the (mod) designers' personal systems.Unfortunately the basic set-up was gha... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I've watched this thread for a while. Wasn't gonna get involved, but here I am...I don't see the Acapellas and Avantgardes as a logical either/or choice. Not really different from, say Watt/Puppies vs. Avantgardes.The lower end Acapellas are nice,... |
