 Hope this is civilized enough for you Jim. Also, do let me know what your thoughts are in regards to my previous suggestion of two smaller, higher tuned, units that would likely result in a overall superior response. |
Yep, this is civilized enough.
Looks like a passionate debate, but still friendly. I just didn't want it to escalate into anything personal.
As far as the 2 driver solution recommended...as far as I can tell, it looked great (and like it would go beyond meeting my needs/expectations). I want to spend some time tonight modeling all of the different options and overlaying their response (if I can figure out how to do that). To be honest, when I look at any of the options mentioned, they all look to me (from the model, at least) like they will blow me away. But, I think I can more easily understand the differences by overlaying the plots.
One thing that I have to keep in mind is that I will not be able to use a particularly low x-over. I have some NHT L5's that I'm auditioning for the mains and center. I haven't decided yet if I'm keeping them, but even if I don't I'll likely use bookshelf speakers up front. So, either way, I'm probably going to want to x-over at 80Hz (and, possibly even higher).
