Yea but are we talking about a pair of linn speakers here ? OP does not say wich speaker he is tweaking. badly implemented active fillters would not acomplish much good... If it is linn speakers, then by all means use the linn boards as they are factory designed to work properly, theoretically you migth be able to improve with a DCX type of xover given time and skills and ability to measure the result. For batling the room acoustics the inguz plugin or a DCX could be used I supose, but given that the speakers "work". also tweaking so it's sounds "good" is not a design method I recomend, most repectable manufacturers design at reproducing the signal as good as they can ( hence the term high fidelity meaning that input and ouput is very similar ) But as speakers are by their very nature never transparent and interact with your room and listening position and moore all speaker builders have to decide wich flaws they can live with and also add thier " secret sauce" to give thier creation it's sound. You can hear when this is not done properly, ever been to the hifi store and listened to equipment that only shines on certain recordings and certain kinds of music ? off course some recordings sounds horrible all the time and you cant make that go away with any hifi, and if you try you get it very wrong ( an extreme example would be a stereo that makes californication sounds good, this would then reproduce any good recording 100% wrong and be badly designed all over as this record is 100% bad ) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
