Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
robert1976 OPYes you will have to do that. Only benefit for xlr if the interconnects are very long >10mts xlr then helps for noise if any. And in some cases rca sounds better, as the xlr input and outputs on many bits of equipment are fake! Using balanced opamps with what is single ended circuitry throughout, so the rca input or output in these cases bypasses those balanced opamps and goes straight to the single ended circuitry input or output.

You do not need to bi-amp, but you will need a powerful, high current amp. To best implement an equalizer you will need a preamp with a tape loop. Most tape loops are single ended RCAs, but there are some preamps with balanced tape loops. The other alternative is to insert the equalizer between the preamp and the power amp. The most tone control like high quality equalizer is the Dangerous Music Bax. Does anyone know if Tidal has built-in EQ functionality? |
I have to agree with millercarbon on this one, that is that a DBA would be the way to go. That's a really large room for two 11" woofers! I see that the rear of the speakers has speakers terminals labeled "Bass Input". Does that mean you can bypass the internal cross-over? IF so, then you can, go here: https://www.marchandelec.com/xm44-electronic-crossover.html and purchase an external crossover (2 way any slopes you like and control the gain as well) requires a second amp of course. The cross-over will run you about $1500-$1700, depending on options, like fully balanced, tubes etc. Then borrow an amp and give it a try, seems to be a cheap experiment given the $$$$ you are willing to spend. |
