I can turn off my main amps and sit there listening to my two Entec woofers imaging all over the place below the 100hz crossover.....Other than moogs and organs not much information below 50hz I want to listen to, but it adds space to the presentation and surprising how much venue information is extremely low frequency as size of the stage grows about 25% when woofers are switched in over the main speakers running full range (Rockport Syzygys which are good into the thirties).....
At what freq. does sound become non-directional?
Greetings all,
I've got monitors sitting on matching woofer bases. The Freq. response on the monitors is 40hz-20khz and on the woofer bases it is 30-160hz. I'm now using a Paradigm X30 crossover and bi-amped. I'm considering changing to a stereo crossover or adding another X30. Am I overly concerned since at some point the sound is "non-directional"? or am I missing part of the music because of the X30 being mono only on the low end, and passing the signal only as a mix-mono identically to each woofer base? Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Happy Listening!
