Keep in mind When you EQ a speaker, (especially bass boost) you are trading more non linear distortion (IM+HD) for the benefit of less linear distortion (better freq response)Īnd its fantastic to be able to tune your system by a flip of a button. I'm soon about to quadamped as I'm adding a sub woofer into the mix. I can experiment with different slopes and crossover Freq. Things dramatically improved and justified the effort when I applied proper time alignment, changed slopes and EQ'dĪ fantastic side element is that with a digital cross over, I could plug in and out different drivers tweeters and horns to play around and have everything work together. So I went fully solid state tri amp, but could not hear any benefit in tri amping with active cross vs the passive cross (typa AA) that I was imitating electronically. Had some kind of phasing over the frequency that caused a problem blending with the ss amp within the crossover region. With me it all started out in an effort to get Tubes on the top and a solid state Amp for bassįirst impressions where that I couldn't get the different amp's characters in sound to blend, I'v done it, It opened up a whole new horizon and fantastic sound,
