Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers


Dear All,

I try to open a new topic… which i did not find in the previous discussion so maybe is new to the most

 I have a 2 channels system which i want to improve with a minidsp or eq

the question in short is the following:

i love my dynaudio special 25 speakers but often i feel the need to have a better punch on the bass frequency

so i tried to add a couple of svs 1000 pro subs… with excellent results

point is that when i turn up the volume too much i feel the dynaudio midwoofer cone rattle when hit the lower frequency (actually the coil reaches the end of the air gap into the magnet)

so im thinking to add a dsp or eq to cut the lower frequencies before they reach the dynaudio

i have a pre audio research LS2 + amp mark levinson 23.5….. the idea is to add the dsp or eq in the middle and have the following configuration:


  1. connect the minidsp or eq. to the first rca out of the audio research (fortunately i have 2 rca and 2 din outputs) and then to the mark levinson …. in this way i could to cut all the bass frequency under 50 or 60 hz and have the levinson handle  the dynaudio 


  1. connect the 2 subs to the second rca out of the audio research and use the svs internal dsp with iphone app to calibrate them


Hope is clear… What do you think?


Better a miniDSP 2X4 or a Schiit loki mino+


Or anything else?



tks alot for any help or useful hint, best

MC is on the right path, even if you equalize and limit the low frequency to the speakers, you will just turn it up more and be right back where you are. Little loudspeakers just don't play large and loud.
Tks all for the hints...

Well, I understand that "small" speakers cannot sound as "big" speakers... but i want to try at least to get the best out of them

I just dont understand if i can somehow prevent the lower frequencies to reach the dynaudio and if it will affect the sound quality ....
For example if i use a minidsp 2x4 in the between the audio research and levinson... will it work or not? ...can be a minidsp or another device (which one in this case)


@mijostyn  ... what does it mean:
Using subwoofers without a dedicated two way crossover is just a cheap and very inappropriate path into subwoofer

I connected the 2 SVS using the rca cable and calibrated via their internal DSP and class D amp... why inappropriate?

What it means is he doesn't understand bass, or subwoofers- or crossovers or EQ. If you have the time and energy you are welcome to click the name and read the posting history, where eventually it will become apparent this is all part of a pattern. Sorry. Please disregard. 

The problem is like russ69 said if you cut the lows you will only turn it up louder and be right back where you are now. You cannot cut enough, because then you will be above the frequency suitable for subs. Your statement "i want to try at least to get the best out of them" begs the question. You already are getting the best out of them!

 You cannot wring blood out of a turnip. Don't put legs on a snake. How many more ways can we say this? Cue Obi Wan Kenobi: These are not the speakers you are looking for!
Well,
i see… the best is to sell the dynaudio and get a floorstand speakers i guess
