I hi-pass my mains (large monitors with integrated stands, making them appear as floorstanders) with 85Hz in-line passive filters which cleaned them up tremendously. And have stereo subs doing the LF work. Clean, full sound.
running full range or not full range...huh?
I'm trying to ask this question a few ways to see if I can ask it sensibly and get some help....sorry if it seems redundant.
Here's the question: is it better to remove the low bass from the signal and not send it to floor-standers that don't go down below -- say -- 35 hz because it avoids having the speaker try to do something it can't, which in turn causes distortion.
Or, is it better to just let the speakers naturally roll off the sound, and not worry about distortion (and avoid using an external crossover of pre/pro of some type).
Thanks!
