[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 25336, member: 52"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it I'd get a different speaker system, but that's not what you want to hear. Another serving of worms in a can for you: The ribbons handle far less power down where the transition to the 12” sounds decent. Given too much power they will die from over excursion crossed low, and heat death when crossed higher. Peavey has different presets for various types of abuse levels, raising the crossover point for “rock and roll (or whatever they call it now)”, allowing the 12” to beam like hell compared to the wide dispersion ribbon . The lower crossover frequency requires a more aggressive peak limiter to keep the ribbons safe. Peavey took care of this problem by adding in hi mid cones between the 12" and ribbons on the step up model. Now, back to the regularly scheduled discussion. [/QUOTE]
