| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway OK, thanks all. My reasoning for wanting to do this is to limit cone movement of the 2 full range drivers. Since they have no crossovers at all, they must play the delicate midrange as well as the thumpy bass. I figure if I can cut out the cone mo... | |
| Marchand Passive Filter @mashif When you give Marchand the cutoff frequency is that what is considered the -3db point, or the starting point of the high pass? | |
| What is the lowest voltage acceptable ? @blackbag20 Good one from Mr. Mom Quick and funny... not hurting anyone. A good way to start my day. | |
| Crossovers and power handling, and why 1st order filters can be bad I liked the article, but are you Erik or Nigel? | |

| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) It comes delivered to your door. | |
| Help needed - Only one channel playing! It can also be a cable. | |
| Not sure what to think +1 on the Benchmark. You will notice a difference. | |
| Back to the DAC That Laiv Harmony looks interesting, but I hate to be the "first on the block" in case of some problems. | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts Sorry, I haven't heard any of them. I have also been shopping for a DAC in that range, and my research has led me to those. The ones that are just a DAC. It's hard to audition DACs. My local store has only 1 DAC, and it's $15K. A bit ... | |
| Back to the DAC These come to mind: Weiss 204, Danafrips (in your price range), Audio GD. |
