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

Well,
the SVS rca out i think is not filtered and, even if yes, would imply a double conversion ad\da which could bring some quality degradation

I emailed the bluesound and they replied:

when the sub out is on, the crossover cut is done by the internal DSP before the D\A conversion, this is a good news as it means that there are no risks of quality degradation 
then is possible to move the cut from 40 to 200 hz, large flexibility to make some test

the cut slope is 12db, which is acceptable i guess

So, Im not experimenting this setup (sub out to Subs and main rca out to the audio research) with frequency cuts of 40\50\60 with good results... of course i will test also more cuts in time
 
In this way, no additional devices in the between pre and amp... and no double conversion ad\da .... 

Then, of course i know that if i really want to make a giant step then i should buy floorstand speakers... maybe i will...
