hi folks, i must admit upfront that i am just an assemble-level diyer.
and about a year ago, i did just that, using Madisound cabinet and SEAS drivers,
i assembled a pair of speakers that actually sounded great!
what luck...
i did read quite a bit about the benefits of bi-amping with active crossover.
i was convinced and bought Behringer dcx2496 and extra amplifier for my
basic stereo music application.
now of course i have the itch to step up.
i basically am considering two options:
1) repeat the same assemble job but with SEAS Excel drivers; 2-way monitors
2) buy the Odin kit from Madisound without the crossovers since i will be active xo
some specific questions i'd like help with:
1) i have read some negative comments on thor/odin cabinets. but i should be able to tweak
the active xo to my heart's content and fix the issues. right?
2) i understand that mtm design offers better sensitivity with lower impedance but what other
general advantages does it have over 2-way?
3) i've read in so many places about "matched" pair of drivers. what exactly does that mean
that the tweeters are matched?
i'd appreciate any guidance in my research for next step-up.
cheers and happy 2009!
