Agreed. Don't forget that the speakers already have crossovers in them. Indeed, the speaker designers have taken great pains to ensure they've designed their crossovers properly for the specific drivers and enclosures they're using. Using the high/low binding bosts does not bypass the internal crossovers. Using an additional crossover (particularly one whose effects overlap those of the speaker's crossovers) could have a seriously detrimental effect on the sound. And not only for the obvious reasons--crossovers can interact in bizarre ways (a proper explanation of which might require an audio or electrical engineer). If you wish to alter the crossover points you really need to replace or bypass the internal crossovers. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28381 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
