crossover

Closed - looking at Octo Research dac8 PRO, paired w. Roon + Convolution or MiniDSP.

The amplitude-frequency response curves (near on-axis only, far off-axis only, or both on-axis and far off-axis) of a speaker may have a dip around the crossover frequency. Is it correct to eliminate the dip by EQing? As an example, let us see 2019 Audioholics B&W 603 review. The frequency...

Having read "Capacitor upgrade in crossover" thread by ctrl, I'm getting curious of whether can one expect any performance improvement out of crossover mods. I've recently got a pair of old (25 years give or take) Audiovector 5x. An acquaintance of mine is a speaker constructor (for 30+ years)...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and hope you forgive my mistakes. I'm a old audiophile who wants to upgrade his (now) simple system (Oppo BD95 + Pass Labs amp + Magnepan MG 3.3) to multi amping. As everybody says Magnepans should sound better in multiamping (maybe all of the loudspeakers do) and I...

I bought a pair of Harrison Labs 12dB in-line RCA attenuators to solve a hiss in an old Hafler preamp. It works beautifully, as the hiss was independent of the volume control. To my ear, these little magic RCA adapters are transparent, but I would love for someone around here to see how they...

The influence of BP on the sound of loudspeakers has often been controversially discussed. It even goes so far that individual voices describe the influence of binding posts as immense and recommend only very high-quality BPs - That made me curious. The full mini series: Capacitor...

Hey, at the moment I am building a 2-way bluetooth speaker. I have to create a new crossover because I have annoying frequencies at around 2600hz I used this speakers: Dayton ND105-4 4" 60 - 10,000 Hz Dayton ND16FA-6 5/8'' 3,500 - 27,000 Hz At first I used Vituix CAD 1 to design a new...

So, after the topic capacitor upgrade has already been discussed by me in two parts, there is no reason to talk about it anymore - or is there? The full mini series: Capacitor upgrade in crossover - Is it audible? Capacitor upgrade - part two Capacitor upgrade - part three...

Here is the second part on the topic "Capacitor upgrade in crossover - Is it audible? This time it is exclusively about the measurable differences of electrolytic capacitors with film capacitors in crossovers of loudspeakers. The first part about film capacitors can be found here and who likes...

As the topics "capacitor upgrade" and therefore "capacitor sound" is very controversial, the test method and its results are explained in detail. This cannot be dealt with in one minute. Sorry for this and I hope your attention span is still sufficient to read through a long text - whereby the...

Since it is often claimed here in the forum that replacing cheap sand-cast resistors with low-inductance resistors would lead to clearly audible improvements, and since it's no use pointing out that the sound change (unless it's completely imagined) is very likely due to slight deviations in the...
