    2.1 system optimal high/low pass crossover frequency and type

    Dug into REW and it’s very deep, I will not be jumping into that rabbit hole for my budget living room system. I’ll keep researching and experimenting. Based on my sessions so far a low crossover frequency is the key point for getting the sound I like. What’s really cool about the MiniDSP I...

    2.1 system optimal high/low pass crossover frequency and type

    You put into words (smoothing) what I think I am trying to get to. Going to start researching measuring rew / modes to put a little science behind it. Thanks

    2.1 system optimal high/low pass crossover frequency and type

    Thanks, I have not done any measurements yet. I did try Dirac live on the MiniDSP and didn’t care for those results, made the speakers sound thin and hollow. I’ll give it a try with the LR filters and higher xover points, but 80hz just seems so high for large main speakers.

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    The Minidsp SHD lives up to what you read about it. Its a bit of a learning curve to get setup, but sounds great. The crossover options for high pass and low pass are really solid.

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    Thanks for the detail! The Harrison lab type product at 40-60hz via xlr would have been my ideal product before I became more informed. I now understand that passive has its challenges, is more complex the deeper you go because its variable on the factors you stated. Fingers crossed the minidsp...

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    Been thinking on this for a while and since my SMSL DO100 has started doing strange things, I decided to go for a minidsp. The flex was my first choice, but ended up ordering a shd for streaming

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    I like! Thanks! The XLR box is what I had in mind originally. Now I need to figure out what capacitors for my setup, and is it worth it vs sn active solution.

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    I was thinking this would be an “easy” solution, but the more I dig the more complexities I uncover with finding a known solution. But i like the diy aspect of this and have been tempted to build something passive like you did.

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    Its a SUB 550PBK. I don’t recall it having a high pass. Also have an older SVS I will check for high pass. Viable option with xlr to rca converters

    Checked out the minidsp options, new rabbit hole engaged. That seems like the perfect solution.

    High pass filter / Bass blocker help

    Hi - need help or some ideas. I would like to restrict low bass frequencies (below 50/60hz) from my speakers. I have SMSL DO100 DAC connected (via XLR) to a VTV Purfi 2 channel amp connected to my speakers (monolith T6 towers). I addition, I have a 10” JBL sealed sub connected to the DAC via...

    New beginner 2 channel setup

    Unfortunately I can not move the speakers forward, maybe in a future dedicate music setup. But I was able to raise them up to ear level with “isolation” stands I made. I know the sound stage improved for sure and in general sound better in the low mid frequency area. I’m having a good time...

    New beginner 2 channel setup

    I went middle of the road in TIDAL with the HiFi tier and it sounds great. I’m intrigued by MQA, but taking your advice. I downloaded some hi-res tracks locally to test if the smsl would play the higher rate from PiCore. Test was successful. Thanks!

    New beginner 2 channel setup

    Thanks for the advice! The most I can get from the wall is about 6” and drove me towards front ported speakers to minimize boominess. Would small stands be worth while to raise them up a 4-6 inches off the cabinet? The top of the speaker is 3’ off the floor.

    They are toed in approx 10 degrees. Originally had them straight and through trial and error toed them in a bit. The speakers are 6’ apart and listening position is about 7-8’ back.

    New beginner 2 channel setup

    New here at ASR and certainly appreciate the informative reviews and active forum community. Thought I’d share my beginner 2 channel system I put together from researching ASR and inspired by high end setups I experienced at a local shop. I use my system for a mix of music and movies/tv. Been...
