Hello,
The one thing I found out recently is using the JL Audio CR1 crossover. If your system has Dirac like NAD you can accomplish a similar effect. I like to use separates which gives me the ability to install a crossover like the JL Audio CR1. The thing I was amazed about how the system worked was the sound and level of control. You are adjusting the crossover for the subwoofers as well as the speakers. If you have the JL Audio subwoofers to go with it you will be in audio bliss. Even if you do not have JL Audio subs this is universal. It does XLR and RCA so you are covered on connections. It even has a home theater pass through or bypass function so you can use it with your mixed system without the need to buy more subs. The reason I am bringing this up is because by letting your subs do the heavy lifting which most of us do with the subs you get to properly crossover the main speakers too. Maggie’s usually benefit from a sub or two. Now imagine where those subs crossover. If you set it to 80hz at -24db you will never be able to stop listening to your Maggie’s. In fact you will probably listen to you whole music library again. That would take Michael Fremer 3 life times. By taking the weight off of the front speakers you don’t have the bass over smoothing out the mids and treble. All I can suggest is to try this. I have never been to Axpona in Chicago so I have never listened to speakers costing more than $25,000. I can tell you my speakers that would probably cost $7000 today sound better than any speaker I have heard up to $25,000 by using this crossover. It is an audiophile quality piece so the sound is not degraded. In fact just the opposite it’s unbelievable. If you live in the Chicagoland area this store lets you try before you buy. https://holmaudio.com/
I cannot wait for Axpona 2021 so I can experience some of the best sound in the world. It will also be interesting to hear how good my system is compared to the best systems in the world! See you guys soon.
