I just got one of these this week and set it up yesterday. I'm very happy with the output. I'm not using the built-in crossover... I'm sending it a summed mono signal from my t.Racks DSP-204. I have the gain adjustment at 0dB since the signal is already being summed by my DSP. I set the max...

Also, as someone new to OCA's videos and relatively new to having a modern Audyssey-capable receiver - but fairly experienced with using REW to measure two-channel systems and even design a two-way active speaker - it was amazing to discover that's it's possible to import Audyssey measurements...

I've been using this for a week now and have run 1.2 and 1.3 (the first one revealing a couple of issues with my DIY speakers that needed fixing...) with a 5.2.2 setup on a Denon AVR-X3800H. My two DIY subs are wired in parallel as one channel, run through a Dayton Audio DSP-408 with a 21Hz HFP...

At $899 I couldn't resist any longer and ordered a X3800H - thanks for the heads up. It will be replacing a Yamaha TSR-7810 that I think was introduced in about 2016. The Yamaha has been quite solid but hopefully the Denon will offer a nice upgrade in room correction.

I would strongly encourage you to go with a DIYSG kit and simply wait until it's in stock. That AVS Forum thread linked above is a good resource. Like, plan the whole project around the DIYSG offerings. You will not find anything remotely close to that level of performance for home theater...

For my latest projects, I purchased sheets of eggcrate open cell foam from a supplierr called The Foam Factory. Basic stuff, but the quality seems good. I'm cutting to fit and attaching with hot glue. For my nicest speakers I've used rock wool batts stapled down with speaker grille cloth from...

I'm bummed because I've always had building a classic 3-way with the 830669 12" subwoofer in the back of my mind.

I've seen it posted on a couple of other forums over the last year that they have indeed exited the DIY market.

Yeah, and of course once I got everything set up, my neighbor fired up a lawn mower.

For me, the big hurdle to trying my own passive network design is that I don't have a good setup for taking quasi-anechoic measurements. I don't have a garage or other large workshop, so I have to painstakingly haul a large amount of gear out to my deck which requires a lot of time and a good...

I don't, but I should. When building the ICEPower amps, I reversed L/R on one of them and definitely hit the tweeter with the woofer's signal when I was getting started, and even cranked up the volume a bit. However I don't think it did any damage. The DSP-408 really is incredibly...

I've been using a Dayton DSP-408 more or less since it was released and I find it to be audibly transparent. It's a great bargain. My only complaint is that the USB connection for programming it is extremely spotty. I spent all day yesterday using one to make an active crossover for the SEAS...

I ordered one of these within 10 minutes of learning that it existed, looking forward to checking it out. I've been running my L700 mk2 with an SRD-7 Pro transformer box and an Aiyima Aiyima A07. I have no complaints with the sound - it gets plenty loud with headroom for EQ - but having two...

Interesting project! However, I'm going to guess that the crossover you used is a step down from the originals. I see the crossover points listed as 850 Hz and 4000 Hz. I've never seen the stock crossover points listed, but the woofer is probably crossed at more like 300Hz. The stock crossover...

I feel like we're lucky there are still as many AVRs as there are on the market at all. It seems like an incredibly niche product these days. I barely know anyone who owns passive speakers at all, let alone combines them with a TV.

Yes, as I've said I haven't measured anything but the GRS drivers sound good to me as drop-in replacements, definitely smoother than the OEM mids. They are also slightly less sensitive than the OEM mids, which I think warms up the tonal balance in a way that pleases me. I also slightly roll off...

I heard these at Capital Audiofest and thought they were terrific, among the best in show.

Wow. I can't believe I never saw this thread. I was chiming in with @JohnBooty when he was originally singing the praises of these speakers in an earlier thread. When @Dennis Murphy bought one and was displeased with the measurements, well, I have to admit that I've felt mildly embarrassed ever...

My favorite Android phone ever was the Samsung Galaxy S10e with its reasonable size, expandable storage, and headphone jack. The S21 I have now has felt like a downgrade in nearly every way. That said, during the 18 months or so that I had the S10e, the only time I ever used the headphone jack...

I've been using one of these with the stock power supply to power my Stax L700 Mk2 headphones via an SRD-7 transformer box. It has been a great combo with plenty of power and headroom for an EQ profile. I soon plan to test it out with a pair of Hifiman HE6se v2s.
