On the topic about 1% distorsion has been quted for passive filters there is the AVi forum for AVi active speakers . Very baised about thier product http://hddaudio.net/viewtopic.php?id=886
The loss of cone damping is one issue another less known one is because driver impedance vary with signal for all kinds of reasons so will the xover piont of the passive fillter it will move slightly and so will the slopes . Another less known effect is out of band damping controll in a passive design the drivers decouple from the amp outside of the xover points , an active design has full controll along the slopes too it just lover the signal level according to the xover slope it never lose it's firm contact with the driver itself . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98249 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
