[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 75539, member: 652"] Re: Danley SM80 and others shootout Monday January 14 at Danley in Gainesville, GA. My old 650Zs always sounded very good using the 2-way passive crossover, but awful active 3-way. Eventually I redid the processor settings myself and discovered that the polarity of the mids when in 3 way mode was inverted. That caused a couple of holes in the lower and upper mids and made the box sound harsh. With my new settings they sounded great. In 2 & 3 way mode they sounded almost identical. (I now believe there was a crossover wiring error in some of the early boxes .... which I suspect EAW eventually discovered when they did the Gunness Focus settings for the 650s) The other issue with the 650s when using it with the UX8800 is that there is a time alignment issue between the lows and subs that EAW do not tell you about. It’s necessary to Smaart that combination to determine how much extra delay is need on the subs when the subs and tops are physically aligned. It still amazes me that they have not addressed this issue.
