Hi ASR,
I've recently got a mad idea of replacing my 3 way speakers with a 2 way bookshelf speakers + sub.
The reason behind behind this idea is that I cannot use 3 way active crossover + group delay because of my current speakers.
My current speakers are Martin Logan motion 40. They have two pair of pots at the back with two internal crossovers at 500hz and 2.6khz with pots being for 2.6khz.
I use them with a quad amping setup with an external digital active crossover at 2.6khz + group delay + room equalization.
Because the speakers have two pairs of pots and not three, I do not have separate control over the group delay and crossover for the low frequencies.
The idea is to replace Martin Logan with 2 way speakers + sub. I'll have then 2 active crossovers and separate control over low mids and highs.
I did check the Passive Speaker Recommendations but most of the 2 way speakers just have one pair of pots and I need two. so I started to lean towards DIY. Something SB Acoustic Bromo without crossover as I'll be using a active one plus a sub
Additional question arises about the room.
Yes I know reflections, window on the right etc, but unfortunately I cannot reposition anything (renting).
Are 2 way speakers (1 +6.5) will be enough to cover the area to the couch? Am I delusional and should just leave it as is or buy a 12 sub?
My room diagram:
Thank you
p.s. additional but not major reason for swap is that I might have to vacate the property and want something smaller
