In Munich, none of WADAX rooms sounded good. The room with the WB was agreeable on the senses, but the rest were uninspiring, and some, like Göbel and kharma, plain awful.
PHL PA drivers from France (I believe own by devialet). Corrugated paper. Not superior to anything, but cardboard. Some people like that kind of sound.
I am sure there are differences, but I don’t see how you can interpret anything but frq. and phase on a subwoofer impulse response. For quality (slow, fast, etc.), you probably need to look at distortions, which is tricker to assess (probably need anechoic chamber)
This may be more of a function of how low/sharp the bass is crossed. One seems to be 70hz with sharp cutoff, the other 100 with more gentle slope (Higher frq, sharper impulse ).
Nothing confusing here, you see the on/off button…?
Although they typically do, active XO may or may not have voltage gain.
Like I said, “I stand corrected” would suffice ;)
We spent some time trying to clarify that for you. It would have been nice of you to just say, “I stand corrected,” and not blame others for "the confusion"...
now we can move on
Did you read Magico description :rolleyes:
The part about the “fully balanced and discrete circuit topology”, the “external power supply chassis regenerates AC and applies active regulation to every part of the circuitry”
Magico MXO is indedd active.
Form Magico web page:
The new Magico Analog Crossover (MXO) was designed in-house from our own platform to manage the crossover frequency between the 15-inch bass and 11-inch mid-bass drivers.
At such a low frequency, a passive crossover would require huge...
Man, you manage to confuse me as well, are we going to argue the meaning of an active XO??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_crossover#Active
An active crossover contains active components in its filters, such as transistors and operational amplifiers.[1][2][7] In recent years, the most...
That’s not how it works. It’s a 2 -way active setup. The low/high pass are actively crossed. There are no passive parts in front of the bass and the midbass high pass.
Correct. Its physics, a small 2-way, efficient, easy to drive speaker will have no bass (unless it is really big). The lower you want it to go, the less efficient, or the bigger it will have to be.
You lost me here, sorry. Your definition of ‘natural or musical’, based on the videos I have heard of yours (and Peter’s set up), is extremely colored. Like I said, there are tradeoffs to consider, and personal preferences.
Nonsense, like everything else, there are tradeoffs. BTW, the M9s are 94db efficient, with an actively driven bass section. Should be fairly easy to drive.
This might be the problem, what was recorded on the Iphone, should be listened on the Iphone. Also, when listening on YT, compression levels vary constantly, you never know what it is you are hearing. Which can explain the different reactions to the same video.
