Hi all
The problem is of course how to do low bass properly.
A bass drum as heard in the orchestra,
( or let's say the way I hear a bass drum)
apart from the impact itself is this low rolling pressurewave that seems to ekspand from the bassdrum towards you, like a big bubble.
No home systems I've ever heard have done that in the same way.
The closest I've heard is a 4-way hornsystem belonging to a friend here in Norway. 3-way horns up front, and a big mono subhorn with the hornmouth
just behind you. This is a system in progress, (aren't they all ) but the potential is very good.
Peronally I think horns all the way down is the way to go, the problem is of course that the low bass horn end up being really big, you usually end up having to build it into the listening room as a permanent structure.
Having just got myself a new house, that is what I am intending to do.
We'll see how that goes
There are other options , of course, like infinite baffles and the like.
Your choice, it will be a compromise anyway, compared to the real thing.
So, to get back on topic, what can digital x-overs do for us?
IMHO, a very good tool , if used in the right way.
But not if put into an existing system.
cheers
