Hi all I've just started playing with biamping. Just after some advice.
So I've got a JBL M552 external x-over. I'm feeding it with my Sansui au10000 for the highs and a Crown CE 2000 for the lows. Basically what I'm finding is the highs sound great but lows are muddy and not loud, no amount of tweaking makes the lows good. I've experimented with changing the x-over point all over the place as well as the gain for the the lows and highs etc. I'm wondering if the x-over itself is crapped out for the low pass section.
I just got the crown, its a pretty low end amp but when I'm feeding the crown with the preamp of the Sansui, using the internal x-over of the 43's it's the best I've heard to 43's sound...pretty nice. I've lost a bit of the finesse and clarity of just using the sansui but the punchiness etc with the crown is much better.
The result for biamping the highs is very promising. Either the internal x-over caps
are no longer great or dedicating an amp to the highs is producing better clarity. So I definitely want to persist .
Any ideas on how to sort out the external x-over appreciated. If there's no joy I'll be returning the m552 and getting the Ashley that many of you folks seems to have success with.
