Dear knowledgeable audiopeople
Unfortunately because of pressure from my S.O. (which many of you might be familiar with) i'm too rearrange my living room 2.1 system at the same time i'm considering upgrading my studio monitors for my music studio.
I've planned to upgrade my Presonus Eris E5 to the Neumann Kh80, and then until i have the money for the neumann 750 subwoofer, i'm consindering adding my older B&W ASW600 subwoofer to the studio setup.
However when adding an older Hi Fi sub there comes two questions at hand: (1) Will it be a neutral extension of bass using the internal crossover from sub? The Kh80 goes down to about 60hz, so if i set the crossover at 80 and adjust appropriate subwoofer volume would it be considered flat in the bass region and not hurting the excellent frequency response of the KH80? The goal is to use these to mix and master music. And (2) The sub takes RCA input/output only. Would it be good to go from soundcard -> Line to RCA cable -> Subwoofer -> RCA to Line cables -> Kh80? Does this cause any problems of adding RCA in otherwise modern jack/XLR connections?
I hope this question can be to some use in general discussion of adding older Hi-Fi subwoofers to studio setups and thanks in advance!
