[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 39253, member: 880"] Re: Virtual SMAART training: Tell the crossover frequency and type I'm sorry Phil, I wasn't being completely flippant. I seem to sense agreement that there is something wrong with the crossover in this box and that leads me to think that we should be guessing what the problem is rather than trying to match this up with a textbook example of filters done correctly. But I'm still not clear on what you are looking for so perhaps that's where I'm going wrong. Initially I thought (as I think a few other posters did as well) that you were asking us to identify the parameters of the electrical crossover filters used in this speaker design. But your previous post seems to say that we are looking to match up the combined loudspeaker driver PLUS electrical filter to a textbook filter description. I'm failing to see the purpose or feasibility of this at the moment since the combined response slopes will likely not be consistent over the stop bands (among other things). It's like we're sitting on a hill looking at the same cloud and commenting on what kind of animals or cars we see. Maybe I should just shut up and wait for you to lift the cloth off the birdcage. Also, could you define "mid-range" as it applies to this powered speaker? What price range is mid-range? Lastly, I do appreciate this kind of thing for discussion. I hope I haven't come across as otherwise. -drew [/QUOTE]
