Post Subject: Integrating a 3 way speaker setupPosted by vakman on: 12/25/2019
G'Day Rowuk,
Thanks so much for the quick reply
The drivers were recommended by the person who made the cabinets. All three are supposed to be quite well regarded.Initially, the project was just going to be 2 x 10" and the Beyma tweeter, which in itself is quite flat from 1800 to 20k
The crossover points, were just picked using the online calculators (probably a big no-no), but I nor the cabinet maker don't really know any better.
The 2 x 3" ports on the bass cabinets were recommended by John from Acoustic Elegance directly.
The speaker placement is essentially a little bit of trial and error, with no real science
My previous setup wall a highly efficient two way setup using the Fountek (avg sensitivity 102dB), which is where I ran the 300B monoblocks full range. The issue here was that the bottom range was just about non-existent, hence the desire to off-load my old set of speakers
For music choice all kinds; Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Vocals, etc.....
I understand the issue between 20 to 200hz, but this is something I would like to tackle later on. Right now, I would like the focus to be on the mid-highs as Mini-DSP gives me a great level of control (probably not in a true audiophile way for now) on the Bass drivers, to get some kind of balance right quickly.
Was thinking, since the Horn is roughly 110dB, then maybe I could better integrate the Raal Lazy Ribbon since it's roughly 111dB.
Anyway, appreciate any advice to try and move forward.
Btw, most the speakers here look absolutely amazing. You guys know what you're doing. Kudos.
Regards,Vakman
