| Crossovers, why so few options? Eldartford wrote: "Kal...The passive crossover elements which address driver characteristics can be retained while the basic HI/LO filtering is done at line level."Not really a good idea. Have you considered the consequences of cascaded filters? M... | |
| Crossovers, why so few options? Well, this little pond is not representative of the audio world at large. Consequently, the volume demand for this type of product is limited. Some reasonable suggestions have been made. The SMS-1 is one but it is limited to only 80Hz for HP. Cons... | |
| Crossovers, why so few options? ??? Why didn't you say so??!! That's an easy one.The reason is that such are built into most subs and into all preamp/processors. The need for an external crossover is quite limited today. Kal | |
| Crossovers, why so few options? The problem is that no "off-the-shelf" active crossover is really suitable for any serious loudspeaker. The crossover must be customized to the the specific speaker system in order to account for amplitude/phase issues in and out of each driver's ... | |
| Crossovers, why so few options? Because so few people need one. Almost all speakers have entirely adequate crossovers built into them and these incorporate custom features that tailor them for their specific drivers and enclosure(s). Kal | |
| Room correcting subwoofer for music? Many. What's your room, system and budget?Kal | |
| Room correcting subwoofer for music? You can add room correction to any sub by using products such as the AntiMode 8033, Velodyne SMS-1, SVS AS-EQ1, etc. You can also buy a sub with it built in, such as those offered by Velodyne or Paradigm (with their PerfectBass kits).Kal | |
| 3 channel amps really good "some people think I'm crazy til they hear it but that revel blends with the atc's seemlessly !" (sic) No doubt.Get any used Ayre for the center and a Bryston for the surrounds.Kal | |
| 3 channel amps really good What is your budget? I have had excellent results with:Ayre V-6XE (can be configured with only 3 channels)McIntosh MC-303Classe CA-5200Kal | |
| Oppo on the inside and Lexicon out,you decide. Already posted on another thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?bhome&1263659792&read&h12&zzlJylee&restKal | |
| Oppo Blu-Ray DSD Direct mode It has a volume control for the analog outputs but it is a far from ideal arrangement. External VC is better.Kal | |

| Oppo Blu-Ray DSD Direct mode Sure. But which D/A is better? In addition, can the Oppo output DSD with appropriate channel/bass management or does it convert to PCM to do this? Finally, is the channel/bass management more capable/preferable in the Oppo? (IMHO, generally not.)Kal | |
| Lexicon BD-30 universal player My comments on a comparison of the 83, 83SE and the Lex will appear in the March issue of Stereophile.Kal | |
| New spreakers sound great But What speakers are they? |
