| Is my amp the problem? Al, the pioneer is just for testing purposes. If I decide to go for an active XO I will shop for a better one. BTW, I just checked, the input impedance of the parasound is 33k!!!!! Thats great! and the sensitivity is 1.1 for full rated output. Thi... | |
| Is my amp the problem? I bypassed the mindsp and went straight to the crown on the woofer and KWA100SE on the mid/twt. It did sound better. Not wonderful, but better. Next is to try the active XO with a higher input impedance (once I can get it). New amp should be here ... | |
| Is my amp the problem? almarg, Dan agreed with you. he said 20K is good input impedance 30K is ideal. He is very helpful, one of the nicest guys to deal with. Love his product and his attitude, good karma for sure. I purchased (on his suggestion) 2 output coupling caps ... | |
| Is my amp the problem? Ill check that later today. I am getting improvement in the system as I work on it. However I would say the bass is not there yet. Ill drive the crown directly from the pre. I would think there would be a sonic difference and will report back. Tha... | |
| Is my amp the problem? Aux i got a HCA 1000. They are supposed to have high current capability. If I need to move up the ladder eventually Ill do so.The XO is a Pioneer SF 700. I will use it only as a low pass at approx 200hz. This is to compare with the mindsp re input... | |
| Is my amp the problem? atmosphere: we agree. I did find that the phase relationship between drivers was messed up. I had to invert my mid and put the tweeter in positive phase. I use the omnimic and the impulse was negative. Now it is positive. I believe we are saying t... | |
| Is my amp the problem? atmosphere I did confirm polarity is correct. | |
| Is my amp the problem? will definitely speak with Dan. Also, i just bought a used parasound amp and I will see if that helps. Also a buddy is lending me an active XO to try.Thanks again. | |
| Is my amp the problem? BTW, I am only using the LP crossover in the mini @ 225 hz. I would not even consider using the HP to the Modwright. The Modwright is a wonderful piece of equipment and Dan is a great gut to work with. | |
| Is my amp the problem? Wow lots of great suggestions THANK YOU ALL!! very, very, kind.I am using the 0.775 input setting on the crown. The minidsp is a 2x4 HD. Speakers are DIY. Woofer is sealed and midrange is OB. I removed the passive XO from the woofer cabinet. Aux,... | |
| Is my amp the problem? modwright kwa 100se, modwright ls100, mindsp XO, rca connections, 10 inch woofer (Dayton RS270), seems like a sensitivity issue does not have weight to the low end. | |
| Triode Wire Labs Digital-American Power Cord I own the Digital American it is an awesome product. | |
| interconnect choice Thanks. I went to his site and the only thing he promotes is his speaker cable. Guess I would have to call him. | |
| interconnect choice adg I anxiously await your findings. I am beginning to think in terms on cable construction rather than brand. That should dictate. | |
| interconnect choice correction that was the HT magic 2 cable. |
