I recently upgraded my AV Receiver to a Denon AVR 2312ci I found at a thrift store for $30! It works very well! The only problem is my old receiver used a passive subwoofer and my new (to me) Denon uses an active port. I was reading that I needed an amplifier to use my passive subwoofer. I found...

Hey guys...been a long time since I've posted on here...or bought a piece of stereo equipment. Anyway...I ended up seeing great reviews of these Adam T5V active monitors and couldn't help pulling the trigger and buying a pair. Should be here in a couple days. My plan is to use them as...

I’m looking for a sub that has left and right RCA in and out, and further that acts as an active crossover (thus not sending the bass that the subwoofer is handling to the main speaker amps). The reason for this is that I have a great stereo pre-amp with only one pair left and right RCA...

Hello, I currently have a B-2 active bass extension & subsonic with a crown pro amp. I’m looking to find a replacement. What is everyone using?

I'm looking to buy 2X4 DSP, or single unit that is larger. Prefer boards, but for the right price, I'll crack the case. (this is for an amplifier build) Please contact me with what you have available. Thank you.

miniDSP has just published this application note about implementing a multichannel active system with Dirac Live: https://www.minidsp.com/applications/digital-crossovers/active-speakers-with-ddrc-88bm :) Flavio

I have been playing with REW and also some other room correction software like Dirac (test version). However I never was really happy with the results so I stopped using oder buying something in that direction. No I have heard that active speaker often have digital amps and they would produce...

I started tuning today and this the result of some messing around. The tweeters are crossed at 2500hz 24db slope and mids 65hz 12db slope and 2500hz 24db slope The graph is full range and includes an average of all speakers Could someone offer any input on how to get a flatter...

I am trying to calibrate my four way miniDSP OpenDRC-DA8 based speakers. My first step is to balance the four drivers in the miniDSP panel. What speaker response should I be aiming for? Flat response sounds horrible; I balanced the drivers using a 3db roll off per octave using the EQ panel of...

Hi, I’m planning to build an active 3-way speaker system and would be grateful for your views on choices of a good midrange speaker unit. I know there are really good units by Seas, Scanspeak and of course the famous ATC SM75-150, etc. However, I’ve come across a fairly new midrange unit from...

Hello everyone, I know this may sound very akward,but I do want to use these lovely studio monitors which I will refer to as speakers for now...I used to have my Genelec 1037's Active Monitors connected on an old Denon Receiver that had PRE OUTS. So my speakers ran over a DI Box and did...

Is there any kind of discussion out there on filter types and slopes, advantages / disadvantages? I recall from my passive crossover days that certain filter combinations had certain characteristics, and I assume the same runs true for active dsp crossovers, but I'd be interested in a good...

Hello fellow DIYer's, While researching active crossovers and other options to test and build a new DIY speaker, I came across this item in Ebay for $50: Behringer CX3400 Super-X Pro Is this something that could be used to test multiple drivers in one enclosure (along with REW) in order to...

Hi-long time lurker, first post. I have a Denon X4000 with Audyssey Platinum (what ever that is). Additionally, I have JBL Cinema speakers actively bi-amped using the Crown Dsi amps. These amps have presets for my specific LCR speakers (4622). Since the amps are determining the x-over and...

Hi y'all Just last month, 2 out of 3 of my tried & true Linn amps (model 5105) took a dump after a Power outage. I had my whole system protected (I thought) with a Cinepro Powerpro 10 line conditioner, but they still fried. I've had these amps running some Linn model 5140 towers with active...

Hi gang-- As you see in my sig, I've done a few diy sub builds. Now that I've got a couple of SI 18's pumping, I believe I'm set for life on bass (no, really, I am!). So now I'm turning my attention to my mains. Presently, I'm running some aging Sonus Faber Concerto's on L&R, and a Conertino as...

I'm toying around with starting my first DIY speaker project. I put together a "frankensub" a few years back using an old M&K subwoofer enclosure and a Rythmik f12 kit. It was hardly DIY, but I had a lot of fun and the sub rocks! I'm thinking about taking the plunge and starting a DIY 2 way...

Hi everyone, In order to try improve my system I had this crazy thought of "upgrading" the crossover of my B&W 805s to active crossover. After seeking for the available options on the market I have decided to order the Marchand XM44 which seemed to be flexible and reasonable priced in...
