[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 3057878, member: 560358"] re: Selah, RAW, GR-Research, etc. Their forums are located here; [URL="http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?PHPSESSID=q6i6h7onvarok0c89tinuek777&action=circles"]http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?PHPSESSID=q6i6h7onvarok0c89tinuek777&action=circles[/URL] Each manufacturer has their own forum section. You can go there to do some research on those kits and ask questions. If you used a DCX instead of the passive crossover design made for a particular kit, you should be able to extract high performance from the kit.. Because you can try different crossover types, Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley, plus you have 6dB/octave up to 48dB/octave slopes. My favorites are 3rd order {18dB/octave} Butterworth, and 4th and 8th order Linkwitz. The crossover frequencies are swept in small increments of a few hundred hertz, there is PEQ's and delays to mess with. You can do shelving filters too if you want, they look like this. [URL="http://www.astralsound.com/shelving.gif"]http://www.astralsound.com/shelving.gif[/URL] In many ways you can probably extract better performance from a kit, minus their passive crossover, but add the DCX. The DCX allows so much tweaking that you can easily find the sweet sound. re: [URL="http://www.selahaudio.com/id14.html"]http://www.selahaudio.com/id14.html[/URL] LCR ? This is a 3 way, so one DCX isn't enough to do LCR. You can probably convert this center channel design to L and R speakers. Rearrange the drivers so it looks like this one; [URL="http://www.selahaudio.com/id53.html"]http://www.selahaudio.com/id53.html[/URL] But you will have two midwoofers on the bottom. You'd get more bass. Partexpress has cabinets for loudspeakers.
