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

I do like the sound of ML, but they DO need peak indicators. How do you know you're not into clipping? My thought is if you are bottoming woofers on large speakers, you ARE into clipping. Make some peak indicators with an LED, resistor and zener diode. 
You probably have already damaged the speakers because of the overexcursion of a small driver but i would use a crossover to cut the lows to the dynaudios.
james i like what you say  my ? to you sir is My 1990 Thiel 3.6  Krell Koa 150 Amp Plinius PreAMP Parasound JC3= Phono VPI Classic SoundSmith  The VOICE  Cart REL SUB  What would make my system SING .... Thanks greg
Trying to get good bass out of inefficient bookshelf speakers is like trying to ... oh, forget it.

  
MC is right: start with the problem presented by your listening space setup, and start from scratch with components designed in a way that addresses them.
