Hi Roland
- I think it's wonderful that the system already images so well that the effects produced by the lowering of the crossover point, were immediately evident / ie " the collapsing soundstage" .
- Well,,, there shouldn't be. I should have mentioned that before or chosen my words more carefully . It takes more than one pole ( producing a 6 db slope ) to create a "signature" transform ( ie Bessel, Butterworth, LR ). It's the relative spacing of the poles to each other ( quantity of, 2, 3, 4, & up, all working within the desired crossover area ), as well as the filter poles interaction with each other , that creates the characteristic crossover curve near F3. Group-delay characteristics ( and transient response characteristic ) are also dictated by how the different poles interact with each other. Taken together ( along with some other factors ) these characteristic describe the filters' name along with its unique transform function .
- So a single pole is a lonely fellow - left to interact with no other pole - therefore there is no creation of a unique "transform" ( like Bessel, Butterworth, LR ) .
Static maybe ?
- Anyways, I'm going to put my future suggestions in another posting.
- Don't feel compelled to try them out right away / just file them for later if you prefer / the main thing is to enjoy your new speakers and get used to what they do right now.
BTW : I'm really curious, just how did you manage to create those angled/bevelled decorative cuts, that are on the front edges ( like you put in the drawing ) ?
