Thanks for sharing your experience, I will have a listen to some of the music you listed to hear a bit what you like and what you think sounds good in the LX521, this should be interesting. I see you have the ASP v2 and a minidsp, have you compared both with the LX521? The Cornwall is not the...

That clarifies it for the amp gain, thanks everyone. For those with the LX521.4, how good or not are they with pop/rock music? I listen to a variety of music and I work on pretty diversified stuff, a speaker that only sounds good on classical music wouldn't work for me. For reference, I have a...

Nice! Is the new mid woofer upgrade worth it in your opinion? Also, did you ever compare the ASP to a minidsp?

I'm new to this so pardon my ignorance but can you tell me if I understand correctly. Let's say I use a mix of 500 watt, 250 watt and 100 watt amplifiers, as long as they all have an input gain of 15dB (random number for example) I'd be good to go?

Interesting, how do you deal with unity gain across all amps? Is that something the MiniDSP can handle?

For you amplification, I read in your first post that you used Hypex amps made by Nord. What Hypex module are used? On the LX-521.4 web page, they say to use 5 amps per speakers, minimum 50 watt each. I wonder why the woofers need 2 amps since they use the same source from the crossover...

I'll definitely look at the different options I have if I decide to build a kit. I usually don't use the EQ section on my ADI with speakers but it's good to have the option.

Yes if I go with a minidsp, I would definitely feed it with a digital signal to avoid the extra DA/AD. I would probably go with one of the higher end unit that has a remote with volume control. Right now I much prefer my ADI-2 Pro FS R plugged directly into my amp, no preamp, I didn't test a...

I just read the article of your link, it's pretty interesting and the way he describes how the room should be ideally seems to relate to the way I had planned to do my room, which is a diffused front wall and and absobtive rear wall. I am still wondering if I should have corner bass trap...

I see, yeah it makes sence that the offload would help the mid driver. Thanks for the info!

Nice, I bet these open baffle are great. Actually I stumbled upon these while looking at the Seas LROY04 woofer. I have a pair of Amphion Two15 for work, and I'd like to add subs that are crossed over a little high, around 100hz, and Amphion's subwoofer use the LROY04 (probably customized for...

They would be for music only so that's not an issue.

Thanks for the info. Did you have a preference between the two? Also, you speak in past tense, did you end up selling them, just curious. The LXmini only would make sence financially that's for sure.

Do you think the LX521.4 can be used without additionnal subwoofers in a room that size? That's a very generous offer but I'm in Quebec, that's a pretty long drive ;)

Since this will be a dedicated room, 4 feet from the side walls is definitely doable, same for the front wall. I already have another set of standard monitors but the open baffle has been intriguing me for some time now. Even though I could leave 4 feet between the speakers and the walls, would...

Thank you guys. I see your point, basically the MiniDSP allows more tweaking, personnalization and room correction so the advantages possibly outweighs the disadvantages of the additionnal AD/DA conversion. The ASP on the other side offers a simpler plug and play operation and the v2.0 allows...

Is there a concensus on what sounds better between the ASP.4, the ASP v2.0 and a minidsp for these Linkwitz speakers? I prefer the idea of using an analog crossover, because I am pretty satisfied with my actual DAC and would rather not put more AD/DA conversion in the chain. I use the RME ADI-2...

I've been running a class D amp for the last 7 years in a pro studio which means constant use and never had a single issue so it's definitely not a class D vs class A issue.

I wouldn't want that! Just trying to point out that even in the studio it's usually far from the ultimate perfection with fairy dust in the air :)

I'm a professional sound engineer, IMO there's no way to hear exactly what was heard in the studio. There are way too many variables and not one studio sounds the same because of speaker selection and room acoustic. Ideally, in the studio world, we try to eliminate room modes, which means we...
