Hey speaker folks!
I'm relatively unexperienced in setting up systems, however I've decided to upgrade mine last week. I've upgraded to a NAD M33, Kef R11 and have also bought 2 Monolith 15in subwoofers (last still in transit). With the black friday and some bargain hunting I've composed this awesome system and I'm soooooo excited.
I'm planning on using Dirac live to tune the speakers and subwoofers to work well together and with my (odd and large) room.
I do however have some questions that I could use your help with:
What would the right crossover frequency be to set on the M33.
I see the R11s have a THD of <0.3% 120Hz-20kHz. And the 15ins have a THD between 19.8 at 16Hz and 1.3% at 120Hz (manual says <1% 20-100hz). It is very clear that there needs cross-over well before the 120Hz, but there is a bit of an information gap here. The R11 go down to 30Hz (-6dB) and have a frequency response (±3dB) 46Hz - 28kHz. The M33 can be set in increments of 10 from 40Hz.
It would be awesome if Dirac could also create a suggested crossover frequency and set it, but sadly that doesn't happen, and it's also impossible not to set a crossover frequency.
I could make measurements, but I really have no idea what to measure, so any hints/guides would be more than valued.
Thanks
