Raise your x over f to 80Hz and or increase crossover slope if you can
I agree, your main woofers are to small for 60Hz. Extreme excursion = high distortion. 😎

Bass/speaker excursion issues
Hi,
With some recordings, often time Chesky recordings and the example I experienced today was with Patricia Barbers "Higher" sacd song Surrender, the very low frequencies will cause the speakers to have extreme excursion to the point where I'm concerned it could do damage to the speaker. Has anyone experienced this and is there a solution other than turning the volume way down? It is usually just one or two songs on a CD. This is not a frequent occurrence but one that is a problem.

HSU is still around, ask them, send them a short video. https://www.hsuresearch.com/subwoofers.html
I always wanted to hear a/some HSU, seems they know what it's all about. |
Erik squires and ditusa: I have been running the main speakers full range and trying to slide the subwoofer bass frequencies under what the main speakers are capable of. Using a meter and test disc it seems as the mains start falling off at 60hx (but still have a meaningful amount of lower frequencies below 60 hz). I did this as I absolutely love the sound of the main speakers and want to have there precense involved as much as possible. But I can note that when the speakers do the low frequency large Excursion it does it on the main speakers as well as on the subwoofer. I'm wondering if I just need to find some kind of device that will filter out super low frequencies? I do have a DSPeaker Dual Core which is a DSP device used to integrate Subs in the main systems. It worked well with my previous amplifiers(Cary V 12's) but with my current amplifiers (Parasound JC 1+ mono blocks) it seems to detract from the sound overall. |
But..... even with the DSP in place with the previous amplifiers, the carry amps, it still did the large Excursion thing. And again it's only on a few tracks that have really low base. Maybe I should just be grateful for the great sound I get on 99% of the music that I listen too and press skip I know that have this anomaly. |
