Crossover Frequency 50Hz, 80Hz, 110Hz high pass With a 12 db slope this will be down 12 db at 25 HZ and down 24 db at 12.5 Hz...As I mentioned, this filter look like it was designed for the feed to main speakers. 50Hz-140Hz adjustable low-pass fil... 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
Azmoon,I will listen to those tracks you suggest - it seems you always learn something new here - thanks.

When you've all the strings going, the brass playing at it's most brilliant and the percussion pounding away, many systems lose track of the character of each instrument and instead present a homogenized, loud, stressful mess. That would be typic... 
How To Add A Sub To B&W N802's
Assuming you plan to use bass management (TACT, PARC or some such device for room modes) then go for it. I am not familiar with B&W subs and they may include thus feature. Otherwise you may find room modes iompressive but too much for good two... 
Subwoofer damping
Interesting.......the NHT X2 should provide the needed flexibility I am not familiar with it. However a word of caution - I don't see high pass for removing ultra LF on the specifications. "50 Hz" is the lowest high pass filter which sounds like ... 
Subwoofer damping
the present crossover does'nt provide a low pass filter IMHO, whay you may need is a "high pass filter" to prevent ultra LF reaching the drivers...I'd cut everything below 30 Hz....I don't think you have a "subwoofer" in the modern sense - I thin... 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
I really never noted the Beatles for drumming at all. Funny how some people get it and others don't - I certainly don't get it with Ringo - but I agree he is superb but is he remarkable? Melodies seems to stand out most in my mind coupled with rat...

JL F113 or SVS PB13 Ultra are worth checking out.

Also how is the power consumption for these units - i.e. can you run them off the same 15 amp circuit w/o any problem.Power consumption is low - no more than four amps for the pair - Since the speaker and amp are matched they can design them with...

105dB continuous at the listening seat is "crazy loud". I agree and there are few non horn speaker designs that can achieve this cleanly at two or more meters. I would not recommend listening at these levels and agree that 95 db spl is plenty lou... 
What crossover for stereo subwoofer?
I'd recommend this Behringer DCQ2496...it will let you experiment to get the optimal bass management you need.

Narrowing the field a little. Not interested in horns, electrostats, personal (vs established company) designs etc. Speaker must sound good for both 105 db orchestral and 70 db chamber. David,Ok - let me see - no horn, no panels, no boutique desi... 
Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30
This looks like a very old thread. If it is any help to others - I am still quite pleased with my really old AVM20 - terrific functionality better than anything else, IMHO. Only drawback is that I found it benefitted slightly from power conditioni... 
Subwoofer damping
If this is the case, then you have a band-pass enclosure. And if it uses Scan-Speak drivers . . . the vast majority of which have a pretty low Qes . . . that means that this is probably a sixth-order bandpass enclosure. Also, a 6th-order bandpass... 
Subwoofer damping
For example, a variovent with a high-end TC Sounds woofer, like the ones used in JL Audio subs, would probably work very well. Yes but even the LMS-Ultra 18 with 4 inch Voice Coil and 30 mm Xmax is suited to a 6.5 cu Ft sealed box - this is one o...
