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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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!

Solid advise! I recently switched from Spotify to TIDAL and really enjoying it!

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 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...
