what’s interesting from my perspective is to have several presets: 4 way active with brick wall filters, 3 way in full range as my main speakers go very low, stereo subs or mono summed bass. It takes my Lake DLP about 5...
I did think it was strange that my 2004 Contours sound perfect, and a 2018 LM26 had awful hiss.
